The only way I can see to do this is to not openly state unpopular opinions. Is that really what you are telling me to do? HN is no longer open to ideas that the hecklers wish to veto?

Or is there some alternate option you are aware of which I am not? How would you propose that I make my point without resulting in eastwestmath becoming hostile?

I'm happy to discuss this but I need an indication that you're asking it in good faith and not just stonewalling (and putting words in my mouth a la "HN is no longer open to ideas").

Good faith means being willing to take some of the responsibility for these outcomes instead of putting 100% on everybody else and 0% on yourself. Self-responsibility is a conservative value and you generally espouse those, so that shouldn't be too hard.
