A LW post that leans so heavily on the disease metaphor, and applies it to other people's beliefs and behaviors, would probably be more useful if it engaged with Yvain's argument that the disease metaphor is a political and ethical argument dressed up in medical attire.
I don't think Yvain was arguing against the existence of social and cultural diseases. There's no argument I can see to that effect. A good job - social and cultural "diseases" are just fine.
