I wouldn't call it that way.
I'd just say that some people on the lists like to discuss things in
an enthusiastic, crazy and spontaneous manner, while other people are
skeptical, always use rational arguments and tend to concentrate on
weak points of proposals.
Both ways of discussing things are acceptable - the problem is that
they don't mix together well.  What we surely have to do is to be
aware of this differences in approach.  Whether we'd be better off by
separating discussions or not, is another question.

best,
