As pushback continues to mount against this political behavior in science, those who created the environment, sensing a loss of power, will push more of these "can't we just get along" articles in an attempt to silence those pushing back against their bullying and political gamesmanship. Far beyond this situation, attacking and then suing for peace, then attacking and suing for peace, over and over again is a timeless battle tactic. Those who want to do science instead of engaging in political battles are easy targets for this tactic because they just want things to end so they can go back to research. Those who wield science as a sword for political purposes of course will take advantage of this weakness and the manipulation will never end by concession. If science journalists are serious about wanting peace, they can adopt a zero tolerance policy for politics in their content, including the passive aggressive writing that attempts to sneak in political attacks inside other content. But they won't because ultimately the politics are far more important than the science. If it were otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten into this situation in the first place.
