A good culture is somewhere in between, but closer to A than B. Forum B encourages people to equivocate and utter half-truths and forget what it means to tell the truth or to lie. Much better to have confrontations, edit older comments when you’ve changed your mind, and have your faced rubbed into your current internal contradictions; then you will at least notice them, and that’s the necessary prerequisite to correcting them, or if you won’t/can’t, observing they make you unreliable at reasoning in whatever matter presents itself.
