Perhaps my view is one of 1-3, but I'm finding it difficult to categorize it:

It is ill-advised to discuss certain topics on LessWrong; if they are discussed anyway, the following choices are in the decreasing order of preference: a) not join the discussion; b) state your view clearly and be prepared to defend it; c) hint at your view but refuse to explain it or cite evidence for it, claiming that'll violate a social norm.

b) is much better than c), but a) is much better than b).

It's the same attitude that I think already exists on LW for politics (strongly influenced by the mind-killer post).
