Person A attacks B, largely for challenging A's narrative. Person B counterattacks A, calling out the hostility. Several others join. (Please trust me that the details and specific conversation do not matter. The pattern is an archetype.) In the ensuing conversation, a friend, online discussion facilitator, my own instance's admin, and a long-time friend from Google+ days, suggests a technical solution: context tags, applied by post authors.
