Sorry if that came across that way. I just found your first reply unnecessary.
I think each take is useful, no matter how opinionated they are. I understand your point though, I also wouldn't want every comment in the thread being neutral. Knowing HN, I think we're doing fine :)

All good.
Thinking that you have to Take a Side is IMO a false dichotomy. There is a whole specter of opinions.
Between "I support what facebook did" and "I do not support what facebook did", or "I support Trump" vs "I hate Trump". if I were to take a side right now I would not be able to. Regardless I find it interesting, much of the discussion I've heard in the last 24h is very interesting to me.
FWIW I am not American nor do I live in the USA.

I should perhaps expand and sort of agree with you: You don't need to take sides. Just expand more on your stance as neutral than just saying "It's interesting". I expect more from HN comments I guess.
In some ways, it’s self-censorship so one doesn’t get downvotes.
I think I find anyone telling someone to relax a bit condescending, but I’m gonna assume good faith that you’re not meaning it.
