Alicorn,
Good effort, you are almost there, if you used the explanation you gave above to Yaro he probably would be more enlightened than by "this is not the right website for you."
Quoting from The Power of Reinforcement:
In spite of his comment being not in line, why not praise the effort, especially considering that this was his first comment on LW. I'm assuming he did an honest effort to present his point of view, why not praise that and point out the way this site works?
I do not wish to reward yaro's effort, and thereby get more of it. I believe that more of yaro's effort here would result in more comments that are of comparable quality and topicality at least for a prolonged learning curve, and do not believe that the project of nudging them towards improvement is worth community time.
Please don't use an article about the use of reward to encourage good behavior as a way to say that all behavior is worth rewarding.

Dude. Subtlety?
