How can one expect them to engage you if not in the Hostile Arguer mode?

I don't disagree, but even if that mode makes sense for them, engaging with it can (and IMO is) still a bad idea for you.

I have noticed a similar pattern right here on LW.

I have too, although local norms seem to limit the damage.
