While I agree that this post was somewhat below the usual LW standard for reasoned debate, I don’t agree that downvoting is the right response in this case.
Since lucidfox’s previous posts on this topic have struck me as generally level-headed, I think that this was probably posted in a temporary fit of bad judgment, and that if we avoid sufficiently alienating her in the next 24-48 hours that she never comes back, then this will blow over and we can all go back to discussing the original question.
