The lack of response to my point that Scribd has content not found anywhere else is the most telling. Objectively, it seems like that point should win the debate. The disagreement is therefore subjective. I wouldn't quite call this "tribalism," but perhaps it's one step short. In the old days of HN, a valid point wouldn't simply be dismissed without a response. The fact that no one is stepping up to point out why I'm mistaken is suggestive; if it continues to happen, then it's indicative of a trend. And over the last year I've seen this happen to others somewhat frequently.
