The formal presentation of the UA is first not to *actively* hurt 
[ourselves/community] but it is also part of the ritual that one goes 
through when one begins using any platform and therefore sheds light on 
the system we have chosen to [present on/create].
I am not downPlaying the importance of the UA but trying to approach 
this initial user experience with a space for discussion of the über 
systems [theoretical/political] that [we/liken] are highlighting the 
interconnectedness of [past/present] ways of working [within/against] 
them.
