When you say “both camps support” you imply (a) that there are only two camps, and everyone is a member of one or other and (b) that they have reached agreement — and therefore we are done. Perhaps you don’t mean it, but it’s a technique some people use to try to give the appearance of an agreement, and given the sensitive nature of the subject, I’d prefer you not do that.

Yes, “you” as in the sense of “one”.  Correct, Jean-Marc used the phrase first; but you responded to my message about its use, not him.
