Not universally true in my experience.

DEFINITELY not true in my experience.

Some "fights" happen despite best intentions.

Definitely TRUE in my experience.

Although there seems to be a refreshing change in atmosphere lately, the
rules used to be -

You are not entitled to an opinion if you are new to the list.
You are not entitled to an opinion if you are not a developer.
You are not entitled to an opinion unless you agree with everything the
establishment (aka "We who like it the way it is.") think.

That last one can be tricky since they hold some diametrically different
views.  Sometimes one person holds diametrically different views at the same
time.

Apart from that, you can say what you like.
