I am not aware of the current problem, but my personal observation is that
there are more often such conflicts and I expect the number to rise in
future.
According my observation the problem is in lack of education in the fields
of logic and rhetoric. The new generation (called milenials or gen Z or
whatever) mostly brainwashed to the political left, but I do not exclude
also the once to the right, are not able to have a meaningful debate.
So what happens - again this is my personal opinion - they are not able to
have a meaningful conversation over an issue and can not solve conflicts.
Thus the only way is to break the communication. Sadly this is observable
also in politics and I hope we do not end up in nuclear war.

The first such experience I had was exactly the KDE project, when it
released version 4. It was not possible to convince the developers that we
need a working desktop and not just shiny one. So I had to abandon KDE.
Since then I had this experience in many different situations especially
with younger people. It is very sad! Again I see this problem mainly in the
education, but it could have also relation to the family a person was
raised in.

All together it is sad that conflicts are not solved for one or another
reason.
