[GOAL] Re: Inside Higher Ed: All six editors and all 31 editorial board members of Lingua resign over Elsevier

I think that Guedon's advice to "Remove access to Lingua going forward" is the moral equivalent of a book banning. There's no moral difference between saying "Remove access to Lingua" and saying "Remove the book Heather Has Two Mommies." I understand that all book banners (and journal banners)
