Hmm, my two-sentence summary attempt for this post would be: “In recent drama-related posts, the comment section discussion seems very soldier-mindset instead of scout-mindset, including things like up- and down-voting comments based on which “team” they support rather than soundness of reasoning, and not conceding / correcting errors when pointed out, etc. This is a failure of the LW community and we should brainstorm how to fix it.”
If that’s a bad summary, it might not be Duncan’s fault, I kinda skimmed.

Strong upvoted for the effort it takes to write a short, concise thing. =P
I endorse this as a most-of-it summary, though I think the details matter.
