Density of mapping class group orbits for non-elementary non-discrete representations

Let Γo\Gamma_o be the group of the six-point configuration and let X0X_0 denote the relevant character space of representations into PSL2(R)\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R}). For a representation ρ ⁣:ΓoPSL2(R)\rho\colon\Gamma_o\rightarrow\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R}), call it non-elementary if its image is non-elementary and non-discrete if its image is not a discrete subgroup. The braid group B6(S2)B_6(S^2) acts on the character class [ρ][\rho]. Density conjecture. For every non-elementary, non-discrete representation ρ ⁣:ΓoPSL2(R)\rho\colon\Gamma_o\rightarrow\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R}), the orbit

B6(S2)[ρ]B_6(S^2)\cdot[\rho]

is dense in X0X_0. This would extend the expected ergodicity phenomenon beyond the representation spaces treated by the main theorem, but the source presents it only as a reasonable statement and gives no resolution.
