Ironic, considering Duncan’s one of the first three names that come to mind as perpetrators. Fortunately his attempts to push boundaries resulted in him being pushed off LW rather than successfully destroying its norms.
Though my perception is that they did considerable damage to norms I care about that were already very vulnerable. I was only paying close attention to the dispute with Said_Achmiz but I observed a larger pattern of decreasing honesty and forthrightness beyond that, with Duncan as one of the main vocal champions of the change. For reasons that sounded plausibly good which I think he believes in. But which I have never been confident are his true rejection, or that of others.
