  Reminds me of the Office episode where Michael Scott says "The customer is always right. She was wrong. Well she's not our customer anymore"

  Political involvement even if you "can't remain silent" just makes you not a scientific journal, it's fine if that's how you want to use your editorial purview.

  There are times when keeping silent = being complicit in what’s going down. In such times, normal behaviour isn’t appropriate.
