Which of the last 20 comment threads I started do you consider "ideological flamewar"? Many of them have been voted up. Quite a few of them are on technical topics. And why is my comment "flamewar" when the other 3 replies to that post all make similar points, but aren't?
This is a discussion thread about reasoning around controversial topics. I cited several examples of controversial topics where there is in fact either scientific consensus that is controversial or where there's a lack of consensus despite being presented as the opposite. That seems highly relevant to me - the fact that these topics of scientific exploration are unpopular is not sufficient to justify downvotes, let alone flagging or a finger-wagging.
