I think the potential problem is that many participants in the discussion will strongly identify with one of the two factions I’m describing, so that what appears to be intellectual engagement might just be rooting for one’s team, and arguments are more likely to be soldiers than usual. (I ended up deleting a comment on the North Korea post for this reason.)
