This is too complicated. It's against HN's guidelines to take personal swipes, such as insinuating things about their brain. That's all. Please don't do it again.
It's against the rules regardless of your politics or theirs.

It's not lost on me that I am involved in these types of discussions more than average, but it seems that this will naturally occur to anyone who is in a substantial minority - after all, would we expect people to be highly motivated to reply to a comment with which they agree?
I don't involve myself in these discussions entirely because I enjoy it, I also do it because it's important. Disagreement and debate is important to a healthy democracy, and there is a decreasing amount of genuine honest debate in the world.
Also not that as usual, someone coincidentally came across my posts on an at least 2 day old thread and delivered my obligatory downvotes. No problem though I suppose.
