I'm not as opposed to political discussion on this site as many are, but I do think the original point of EY's "Politics is the Mindkiller" post is worth keeping in mind. Inserting this kind of mind-killing aside in an otherwise non-political comment is needlessly inflammatory and distracting. I don't want to see this sort of thing on LW.
Having seen many of his recent posts I believe he's doing it on purpose.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
