I started that thread not toward the issue of posters getting driven away from here, but that we collectively dismiss data and information we dont like, while enhancing and defending what we do like. There may be different ways to define an echo chamber, but driving off people _and_ information we dont like seems like the broadest. While there is no consensus here, there is wide opinion on it, and no real way to address it, ISTM.
