I think you are right, and I apologize to @mattnewton for accusing him of downvoting me, without factual proof. I will not erase my comment because I think his response and yours are valuable.
I agree. It's really useful to see how discourse can (and some times can't :/) work. You might want to consider adding an "Edit: see follow-up comment" to call attention to it, but given it's proximity, it's probably not necessary.
Btw, are you familiar with Jonathan Haidt's "The Righteous Mind"? Given the topic, I think you might find it interesting.
