The quote is completely substantive. Just because you disagree doesn't make it uncivil.

But is the irony of you threatening to ban me for "inflammatory comments" and the quote itself--about the culture of militant political correctness--not lost on you? Do you see the irony?

I like South Park too but calling that contribution "substantive" is quite a stretch.

There's no view that can't be expressed civilly and substantively, so accusations of politically correct censorship on HN don't hold much water in my opinion. It's usually just a fig leaf for low-signal ranting, when the correct thing to do is to be a good citizen and improve your behavior. Most HN users don't have trouble doing this, regardless of where they fall ideologically.
