Interesting how having intellectual curiosity as the goal, rather than the ubiquitous 'an inclusive space where everyone can feel safe', has ended up in a forum that's much 'safer' and less toxic than most places on the Internet.

This is a website for people in the tech industry, with additional focus on business. There are also subjects that simply cannot be discussed here (which is good). It’s those limits that constrain the conversation which makes this place “less toxic”. If it was a free for all where you could post anything, well, the place would go to shit immediately.

I feel like you’re attacking attempts at inclusivity in general with your comment, which seems misguided. Inclusivity and trying to accommodate people is not what causes toxicity.
