if you has said something like "we're not interested in this thread turning into another opportunity to litigate the pro's and cons of the monarchy" I would agree with you.

But specifically saying not to comment negatively while allowing positive comments on what is clearly a hotly contested issue is ridiculous.

I was talking about empty positive comments like "RIP". (or, in a different context, "thanks" or "congratulations" - see https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html)

Perhaps I should take bit out as it obviously wasn't clear enough.
