He called my vision of people not being imprisoned for engaging in voluntary interactions "sickening". You want me to not call him out for having a preference of imprisoning peaceful people? You're stifling real debate, and sheltering people from the realities of the world. I have not, at least in this instance, been uncivil.

And my political commentary is confined to threads about political issues. If you are going to allow posts on HN that relate to a forcible income redistribution program like UBI, but not allow people to describe the punishment dealt to those who don't comply with the tax mandate and pay into the UBI as a form of "authoritarian violence", you're taking an ideological stance about what kinds of state violence and limitation on liberty are socially acceptable.
