Totally fine with the idea and not trying to talk down on anyone. But does anyone genuinely familiar with the Bitcoin community think people are afraid to debate, share their opinions, or argue in general? Truly curious. Look at the recent conversations around lightning, scaling, soft fork proposals, and ordinals and there seems to be nothing but vociferous debate and skepticism.

Yeah thats a good point, lately there has been a lot of skepticism, but I do think most of it comes from only a few voices, whereas this feels like a survey of plebs/users, not devs
Bitcoiners, I've found, are some of the most introspective people around. They're willing first to examine their own beliefs first and make adjustments as new information comes to light.
After all the debate and the real world case studies, what is distilled are the basic heuristics you hear everyone parrot in the community. But the double edge there is that new noobs will pick those up and blindly run with them with no deeper understanding if you're too nice, which is why I think the toxic approach is actually better for long term adoption. Met with a wall of seeming animosity is better for the noob because it represents the edge of a dark forest of personal responsibility. Only the ones with real resolve will enter and are more likely to adopt Bitcoin for the long run.
