Being careful with my language should not be indicative of believing that it is a left-right issue. Being careful of my language should be indicative that I believe people will interpret it as a left-right position and I'm not here to discuss politics.

You're talking about how society should be run and how the state should respond to issues within its purview. That's inherently political.

I would say that being careful with one's language to avoid offense is reasonable, if the hypothetical other party's propensity for taking offense is reasonable. Incense at the specter of a political discussion is not reasonable.

Discussions on HN are more interesting when the partisan temperature is turned down.

A political discussion need not be divisive. Again, it's not good that so many have been convinced that it must be.
