You will often see strawmen and a lack of understanding toward groups that disagree with the prevailing thoughts here.

Like literally in this thread, including towards OP, although I don't see anybody trying to be mean about it (yet).

    Agreed. Though upon re-reading my point, I regret specifying "here", as it might give the impression I think it is unique or more prevalent here than elsewhere.

    I think this is simply a common human trait that is found in all communities. Even surprisingly in debate and philosophy communities. I've been guilty of it without even noticing.
