It doesn't come across that Jon's comments are "intended to erode the goodwill of the [people] to whom [he is] replying". -- The initial post does come across as raising a genuine concern. (Though I think often the main problem with non-progressives is a lack of articulateness and a lack of legibility). It does come across that commenters are frustrated with Jon in the discussion (in that thread, and from various other threads). > we can put the difference down to how much benefit of the doubt we each give to potentially bad actors based on how frequently we encounter them. There's definitely a part of this frustration where some have been arguing with the same people for months & others haven't seen that. -- But I don't think that's the only thing.
