you did not have many anonymous debates.
Tigerboard was created as a sports discussion board for Mizzou..it expanded into other MO sports..and then politics
Facebook was created for friends to keep in touch..turned into politics.
then came the 24 hour news cycle, and the radical talk radio which was on limited AM radio, then came into tv.
Hell, in Reagan years, the two most polarizing politicians (Regan and Tip) met on a regular basis...even Clinton and Gingrich did....that never happens anymore.
That is quite frankly my biggest disappointment in you...you feed right into that...to the point of laughing and playing it off as Charlie Brown.
I guess fortunately to me, the liberals (as a former liberal here) played that game too..and rather than sticking and defending them, I left...and from that (with help from ummmm) sprang into my bout of libertarianism.
