In general, I believe that advocacy of the precautionary principle belongs on other sites, and I'm very surprised that you and the rest of the YC staff don't agree.
Where, precisely, did I do that? The most abrasive thing I said -- arguably the only abrasive thing I said -- was "Superstition won't help your child." Out of curiosity, if I had said that in response to someone posting an antivaccination viewpoint, would you have called me on the carpet for it?
You're submitting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks.
I suppose the system may impose a rate limit after a certain number of downvoted posts. If so, I've never encountered it before, even in threads where I've taken many more downvotes than I have in this one. That makes me wonder if you replied to me and then manually flagged my account to stall the conversation.
That would be pretty objectionable, if so.
