It's not the same at LW-- we've got civility rules which forbid personal attacks

At least, we have civility rules which puts bounds on the nature and style of the personal attacks. As well as in which contexts personal attacks are acceptable, who is permitted to make them and who it is acceptable to attack.

That is, we're kind of like any other human social group.

It's plausible that I was being too abstract. Still, some of the ideas which have apparently plagued feminist blogs are in play here, without such extreme ill effects, and it might be worth looking for an explanation.

LW is more consequentialist than most places, and that might help.

To be frank I think people have brought their issues from feminist blogs here more than enough and then some.
