Completely there with you for the first four paragraphs.

I'm not sure I'm quite in agreement that the Bitcoin community always has respect for real argument and doesn't have toxicity; I think there's a tendency in any community (especially ones united mainly around a single topic or a group of them) that they're not toxic and avoid groupthink, but you can only really test that when confronted with opposing ideas (and the people behind them). I've seen plenty of really good reactions when challenged, but I've absolutely seen the exact same kind of toxicity as well. In the end, bitcoiners are still people, and we've got a variety of them in bitlandia.
