Downvoted because the original post didn’t so much ask a question as make an assertion which I personally didn’t find so valuable. As you point out, why would anyone come here for political discussion in the first place? So I downvoted it, because that’s what the karma system is for. In the end, a karma point is just a karma point. Nothing personal in it.
Nobody seemed to me to suggest there was anything personal in it in the first place, so I have to wonder why you’re giving a disclaimer about something nobody said or seemed to think.
I think it’s a bit silly to call it “courageous” to criticize an online forum. At worst it makes me feel slightly bad when my posts get downvoted as a result. But I appreciate that you are trying to encourage meaningful criticism on Less Wrong, which I feel is badly needed. So thank you for that.
Upvoted for trying to make Less Wrong a better place.

Well said! Well said indeed! And for that I will award you...a karma point!
Upvoted because even if the answer is “no,” it’s still a question worth asking and one that takes courage to ask.
