Stawman no.999. No one is talking about blacking out opposing views. If you stay on topic and argue in good faith (ie. no strawmen, no cherry-picking, no hostile demands for answers to your rhetorical questions), your comments won't get downrated. And of course, if you register, you will have the ability to rate the comments of others. That way, you can downrate all the repetitive, off-topic comments about "planting trees" and "government spending and regulation". It's a free market of ideas! What's not to love?
