Seeing the way these threads play out on HN, I think this is a good decision. Some people just don't know how to be civil when it comes to things like this.

If I had to work with someone every day who insists on talking about something that'll be filling up the next month of news cycle, I'd rather find somewhere else to work

edit: I personally support choice, but I don't support people who try to maneuver every conversation in a political us vs them direction. People who do this irl are insufferable and unprofessional

edit: and not only this, but people who will harass, sabotage, and smear coworkers over things like this. If someone thinks this kind of behavior is OK, it makes me much less likely to be sympathetic to whatever they're trying to accomplish. This kind of behavior should be banned for the same reason that prayer in school should be banned, and for the exact same reasons
