Question: is it your sense that wedrifid views LessWrong as unusually ridden with social aggression, or views komponisto’s comment as demonstrating exceptional social aggression? Or merely that he views these things as containing social aggression, like most forums and exchanges?

As an answer to the slightly different question of what Wedrifid sees himself seeing, it would be probably less than most forums and in general typical of human interactions. In fact, seeing a human community without any social aggression would just be creepy and probably poorly functioning unless the humans were changed in all sorts of ways to compensate.
(nods) FWIW, I’m entirely unsurprised by this. What I’m not quite sure of is whether Wei Dai shares our view of what you believe in this space. I’m left with a niggling suspicion that you and he are not using certain key terms equivalently.

This is almost certainly the case, and one of the things that made conversation difficult.
