> Honestly, do we need to politicize everything?

That's an interesting take coming from someone as extremely political as yourself. [1][2]

Whoa, this was a serious violation. You can't pull in someone's personal details from elsewhere and use it as ammunition in an argument here. It's extremely poisonous of the ecosystem here, regardless of how wrong or hypocritical someone else is, or you feel they are. Even if we assume you're right about that, the global cost of allowing this kind of thing totally dominates any local benefit in some argument. Please don't do it again.

Edit: turns out we actually had to warn you about this before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12141886. I know that was years ago, but really, please don't do it again.

But do you have any counter argument to the points they made?

whats the logic here?

Everything is political for someone who is politically active?

I mean theres a difference between being politically active (which we all should be), and being the head of the republican party in chicago

What's your point? That it's an "interesting take"?

Or that you just wanted to level a personal attack on me?
