Sounds to me like mods are doing their job for the community. I see no fault at all in that.
I have witnessed some of the...events...you allude to, however. People often get trapped in what think they know rather than what they don't know, which furthers discussion. This is called the Dunning-Kruger syndrome.
"The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people wrongly overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area. This tends to occur because a lack of self-awareness prevents them from accurately assessing their own skills." Ref.
Remaining open to counter points is key to critical thinking and analysis and, if ignored due to DKS, creates over emotional responses to bullshit.
Keep an open mind, frogs: the community depends on it.
Edited for clarity due to some DKS going on in the comments. 🤣🤣
