Reinforcement is for things one wants more off. I can’t say I want more posts without knowing something about the content. In this case, I think Alicorn is right that this poster is not ready to contribute things this community would find valuable.
I agree that the comment is not in line with the thinking of LW, but why not point it out to the commenter in a polite manner if you want to say anything at all?
Not especially. I want better participation. Not absolutely ridiculous religious tripe. The person Yaro is welcome to stay, so long as he leaves his bullshit at the door. Making that kind of comment will, and should, prompt a negative response.
I would disagree with you completely on this. You are outright dismissing a point of view with no supporting evidence other than a vague, insulting comment. It appears you haven’t actually learned what this site is promoting. It’s one thing to disagree with Yaro here, it’s another to outright insult his beliefs and simply raise his barriers in agreeing with anything you believe.
I’ve seen similar instances occur enough times to know (within a reasonable margin of doubt) that if you want to actually make a person agree with you, you start by making yourself agreeable.

Doesn’t LW want more participation?
