I still think you have rose-colored glasses about how discussion works—not how it should work, but how it does work—and that this is causing you to make errors. E.g., the habryka quote sounds insane until you reflect on what discourse is actually like. E.g., in the past debate we’ve had you initially said that the moderation debates weren’t about tone, before we got to the harder normative stuff.
It’s probably possible to have your normative views while having a realistic model of how discussions work, but err I guess I think you haven’t reconciled them yet, at least not in, e.g., this post.

Actually, it still sounds insane to me. I find the top-level comment of this thread to be completely unconvincing, to say the least. (This, despite quite a bit of “reflect[ing] on what discourse is actually like”.)
