You have to start somewhere. Better makes sense to start looking at the arguments rather than the author.
It also helps you train your brain. Stop trusting someone solely because of who they are.
You can comment about anything here and build credibility.
Just don’t start on the most divisive topics.
* When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names.
* Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
* Please don't post shallow dismissals
* Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken.
And yet not once does it mention "don't start commenting on divisive topics"
You can follow them if you want, but I find it hopelessly naive to trust brand new accounts whose first topics they comment on are touchy ones.
