I just wish people were less aggressive when arguing on the internet. It just gets so vitriolic and about winning rather than finding the truth

I also hate when people think "downvote = disagree" when that's really not what we should be using it for. I never down vote in a debate (unless they get rude or offensive) and I always feel bad when someone comes along and down votes the person I'm arguing with! Now they're going to think it's me doing it and get angry!

I pretty much only downvote people if they're being a dick or seem to be deliberately spreading misinformation. I don't like "downvote=disagree" because it seems like it helps polarize people.

I guess it really makes a difference how you're having an argument. Generally irl, arguments would be more logical as it is easy to determine if there is sarcasm involved, etc.

Online it may be hard to determine the writers intent, and some may just dismiss the writers comment. This aspect might be the reason why arguments online are so ferocious.
