I would kind of strongly suggest that a months-old thread is not the right place for questions about current events; if nothing else, nobody but me is likely to see the discussion. Additionally, although both are in some sense tagged ‘Bayes’, the discussions are very different. I suggest you take this to the most recent open thread.
Clearly you can post comments in threads, right? We have a biweekly open thread; dig down a bit in discussion, or wait for the one that’ll be posted around March 1st. Alternatively, pick a post on the front page, not this ancient one. I only saw this because I get notifications of responses to my threads; nobody else is going to be seeing anything this deeply buried. You may still get some objections to off-topicness, but at least you won’t be thread-necromancing in addition.
As a relatively new member of this community I was wondering what implications you could foresee because of this:

I know this might not be the right place to post, but Karma disallowed me from posting anywhere else, and I was hoping to get some thoughts on this.

Can you suggest where a Karma-less account (new) can post then? As everything ends up as draft for me.
