The guidelines say "avoid bringing up flame bait unless you've something new to say."

I think a better guideline might be "avoid just expressing your opinion unless you can make it both polite and interesting."

That's a much better guideline. The reason I think it won't be adopted is that HN's moderators feel like "make it polite" is already a guideline.
