Have you read any thread here on IQ, or immigration, or outsourcing? You can find the most vile, bottom-of-the-barrel opinions there, and the mods don’t give a shit, yet here you have a comment calling out misrepresentation (at best) of facts about eugenics and suddenly dang feels the need to sweep in and tone-police that?

I don't think I have. In those other cases, do you think that dang is being biased towards certain causes, or that he failed to moderate for some more benign reason?
