spillover

The third #spillover thread was a month ago, so it’s time to set aside a fourth #spillover as as part of our comment moderation system for keeping other threads on-topic. Some reminders:

[This thread is now closed. A new spillover thread is available]
It’s time to set aside a second #spillover thread as a constructive space for tangential discussions which are off-topic on other threads. This is part of our blog netiquette, which has the general goal of making it as simple as possible for commentors to find discussions focussed on topics of particular interest without entirely stifling substantive tangents of sorta-related or general interest. #spillover is also a space for those perennial disagreements on premises and standpoints.
