I've never wrote anywhere that you encourage that kind of behavior. There is a difference between encouraging and pretending that problem do not exist. Seems that you are just biased and what you are doing here is white washing a community you are part of.

I would rather spend time with my family than searching whole HN and Reddit for obvious things that were mentioned here multiple times by multiple people but I've found couple of links fast (not for you, but for other readers) [1][2]. And this are only two examples that I've found fast. Those are examples of things that you surely have read and aware of.
Another example is some Animats posts in some C++/Rust debate thread on HN in which he was describing his experience and technical details while criticizing Rust and was downvoted to hell.
Here you have another person writing same thing and dbaupp acknowledging that the problem exist [3].
This comments didn't come from vacuum and denying that problem exist will only make it worse.
