It's not a problem that some things in the world are less
easily understood than others - or at least I've grown to
accept my lack of understanding of many things:-)

I think there's value in a set of technically capable people
who have more or less nothing else in common working on
making the Internet better because that's what they want to
do. IMO that inherently requires that parts of the discussion
are very noisy and very annoying. I figure that is necessary
otherwise we'd need to start requiring that we have other things in 
common, thereby falsifying the 2nd axiom above.

Attempting to avoid that noise and annoyance seems to me
to be missing a significant part of the point of the whole
thing.

And yes, I also expect, and am happy, that the above is not
universally accepted amongst the set of people involved. And
sure, the above is also idealistic and reality is messier,
but that's also ok IMO.

Cheers,
S.
