Right, HN is a place where a semblance of debate can exist. If you are polite enough, you can "just asking questions" any kind of horror you'd like. You will be given a credulous and polite audience to make your case to. I don't think that is actually debate most of the time, but it is certainly a semblance of one! But this isn't a particularly complex subject at the level of sophistication they are questioning. It has been a mainstream and widely publicized issue for over a generation now. There are a handful of reasons why someone would be this invested in discussing this publicly, but not convinced by their own investigation so far. And yes, what I feel for those motivations is hostility. There's a "call the cops" button right there if it bothers you that much. Dan will probably finally ban me and you can get on with your semblance of debate.
