Quick comment to say that I think there are some separate disagreements that I don’t want to get collapsed together. I think there’s 1) “politeness/there are constraints on how you speak” vs “no or minimal constraints on how you speak”, and 2) Combat vs Nurture / Adversarial vs Collaborative. I think the two are correlated but importantly distinct dimensions. I really don’t want Combat culture, as I introduced the term, to get rounded off to “no or minimal constraints on how you can speak”.

Yeah, to be clear I think there’s like 6 major disagreements (not all between the same people), and it’s not that easy to summarize them.
