Do you want the real answer?
It’s not reflective of a deep personality trait difference, think we’re going down the wrong route, there. In our heart of hearts all want the same thing, I think. But the pull towards hubris is often a strong one. Deal with it frequently - I think the desire to be “right” can sometimes overrule not only an objective analysis but directly influence a rooting interest - on a surface level. I think this happens to people taking either side. Happens to me - I find it helpful to remember you learn a lot more by choosing to evaluate and shift your stance. Not only that, but if someone has a contrarian view and instead of points being made, a shot is taken at their fandom, or question their motives in showing up, active resentment will be built up.
If it can be at all avoided, people should be adheRing to the time and tested, true Sabrespace slogan which is : Attack the post, not the poster
too many times there are unsolicited comments to the tune of “well, I wonder what those posters are thinking NOW! Haha!l that seek to do nothing but stir up divisiveness imo
