Social-related-stuff isn’t the only cause of demon threads, it just is a more-reliable-way-than-average to cause them. (I think it’s possible that what I’d call malignant demon threads require some element of social stakes, even if it’s just two people devolving into personal attacks)
I have vague plans (I’m not sure if this will turn out to be a terrible idea), about attempting to have a followup post that walks through specific examples while treading very carefully to avoid re-opening the original threads in question.
while treading very carefully to avoid re-opening the original threads in question
Is that even worth worrying about? One one hand this seems to assume very little faith in LW users, and on another hand, if it did reignite conflict, would that really be bad?
