I've agreed with much you've posted, but not this. The post you praise says:
The Nux uber alles crowd is just as stupid as the MS uber alles crowd.
This is roughly equivalent, to my ears, to dismissing all political discussion as stupid bantering. There are choices to be made, sometimes for good reasons, and not everyone commenting on the choices is just trying to score debating points. Some are honestly and competently looking for insight.
