Can we not do this in HN? I've watched many communities I used to enjoy get ruined by flamewars over Islamophobia and immigration, and I'd rather not see that happen here.

I'd like to think that HN can host civil, fact-based discussions about sensitive issues like these.
If it can't, then perhaps the community isn't that special after all.

Staying away from this kind of subject is part of what makes HN special.

I never thought about that. It's like a "noncentral fallacy" [1] type of argument in a single word!
