If you were being ironic/sarcastic in your initial comment, that didn't come through for me.

Given the degree of political friction on this (and other) sites, and the fact that for any "obviously" exaggerated point of view you are quite likely to find absolutely sincere adherents ... it would benefit your writing to be clear when you are or aren't being sarcastic.

And to reply in a positive rather than antagonistic tone, particularly if someone's supporting your own viewpoint.

(I'm not certain even this take of mine is valid. However your writing doesn't make your viewpoint clear as it can be read two ways. Which itself raises the temperature within the thread. Avoid that if possible.)
