Yes, I was wrong. But my point was correct. The 781 comments applied to the Main Post So:

1. The topic was popular, like I said.

2. The post could have been promoted!

But ask yourself, would you have been so harsh on a factual error had you agreed with the message? This is the way bias works, after all, by double standard more than outright discrimination. You could say I should have been more careful. But then, when you've learned not to expect a hearing, you're not so willing to jump the hoops. But it's your loss, if you're a rationalist and if you're losing input because dissenters find it's not worth their time.

As to LukeProg providing example demonstrating welcoming dissent: you couldn't have considered my counter-balancing evidence when you downvoted before taking the time even to explore the post to which the cited comment belongs.

To LukeProg: have I made my point about the limits of dissent at LW?
