He's suggesting that arguing whether SEC law being just/constitutional/what have you. Regardless of your position, is largely off topic for these posts.

It would be better to just link to the argument somewhere else than derailing this one.

Except he implied that the link should have a significant bias. Also there is a collapse button.

It should auto-collapse threads like the one upthread about whether the SEC is fundamentally unjust.

That's an answer to someone's question, but a non-sequitur answer to mine.

> with a link to some canonical thread about why the concept of security laws is fundamentally unjust or unwise

Because not everyone agrees with that position.

I suspect tptacek is aware that not everyone thinks security laws are fundamentally unjust.

You're still not there yet. Replace "canonical thread about" with "link to a debate about".

I'm quoting you... you are arguing with your own words!
