I’ve added a clarification to the comment you’re referring to. It seems like a pretty bad sign about LessWrong as a venue for conversation that basic symmetry considerations like this are so hard to get across, and not sustainable to do this amount of interpretive labor, but it’s not fair to externalize the costs of that onto you and let a comment stand that might cause people to assume that you’re directly advocating initiating strong violence. You’re obviously not.
If the explanation I added seems inadequate and you explain how, I’ll seriously consider further amending it. But I won’t assume a nonreply is an endorsement either.
