The point Rayiner was making wasn't partisan. None of us can possibly be well served by recapitulating this endlessly tedious US political sharks/jets argument on HN.
I read your comment this way: what I wrote wasn't wrong, it's just not welcome here on HN. The problem with this: smart and/or good people have for too long taken themselves out of the fray and the result is a debased public discourse.
I was merely trying to point out the cause of one aspect of the original post.
