Kaj’s political views likely played a part in how he saw this, as would anyone’s, but I don’t get the sense of “I’m gonna stick it to the other team” from Kaj here.

Personally, I’m glad Eugine is gone, because even without the downvoting he was an asshole. And having anti-feminist or biorealist assholes running around is a great way to drive off women and minorities.
