    Are you sure? Seems like /pol/ was planned before they met. I’d be happy to be proven wrong though.

        Sure, and that’s clear from the emails. That said, I heard from someone familiar with the situation, that it was well known to (some) site members that they were going to add it for some time before that.

        The timing is a going indication of causation, but it’s no proof, especially when there’s a plausible alternative.
