Replying to the grandparent, elaborating on earlier information: there’s a page on Crocker’s Rules in the wiki which you might want to read if you’re interested. If you feel that the text is insufficient to get your point across, you could always link to it if you wanted.
I approve of this, and want to encourage this behaviour in relation to, well, everything on LessWrong. One thing I really like about the Sequences and comments here is that rather than explain concepts every time, or assume knowledge of concepts, we hyperlink the concepts to their explanation. It’s basically a near-perfect solution to this problem!
