Two comments deep and we’re solidly into red team vs blue team politics. Surely there’s a way to have an intelligent conversation about an interesting and relevant article without throwing a match into a pool of gasoline?
- JasonFruit 7y agoTo be fair, the article poured the pool of gasoline and lit the match. It was pretty clearly blue-team material, and bound to generate exactly this response.

- mieseratte 7y agoWould require some semblance of respect for one another, for the spirit of the site, and perhaps a more active moderation of those that stray. Unfortunately we have a politically slanted article, and those who wish to comment on it to throw out their slanted opinions instead of having an intelligent conversation.
- vonmoltke 7y agoHonestly, I don't think so. Particularly on issues that can further develop into VSA vs. "Europe". Every point has a "right" answer, any deviation from that answer puts the commenter in the opposite camp, and the majority opinion controls the discussion by downvoting dissent into whiteness.
