Maybe this is the reason "debate culture" is death. As I understand The Voice was an unique in its genre newspaper - unless even other journals like NYTimes or Washington Post had similar policies, I don't know,I don't live in US and in any case I would be still to young to remember - while today with social media you have literally an overdose of debate wich paradoxically got an exasperated rejection like the ones you are citing. My theory is having Internet opened the possibility to interact with tens or hundred people at time has exacerbated every discussion. I can notice it when I google "facebook" and under the news you always read stuff like "Guy sues another guy because of a FB post" or "Girl/guy suicide him/herself after FB harrasement". This exacerbation caused cancel culture sentiments on both sides, a bit like mass immigration cause racism and xenophobia.
