Understandable. Comment quality does tend to be pretty low for throw-away accounts. Unfortunately I don't maintain a regular account and (perhaps naively) hope that the quality of any comment I make will speak for itself and not be bolstered or disregarded simply because of who posted it. I suppose these topics are inevitable when an article like this is posted, but I'll try to take your comment to heart and not jump down the political rabbit-hole so easily.
