I’m actually not sure what this refers to. E.g. when Boaz Barak’s posts spark some discussions it seems pretty civil and centered on the issue. The main disagreements don’t necessarily get resolved, but at least they were identified, and I didn’t get any serious signs of tribalism. But maybe this is me skipping over the offending comments (I tend to ignore things that don’t feel intellectually interesting), or this is not an example of the dynamic that you refer to?
