Not stupid, but unnecessarily abrasive. Strawman arguments, ad homenim attacks, etc. Sometimes there's a miscommunication, or clarification that can be asked for, or a valid counterpoint that can be made. But a lot of times people will just go right into attack mode first.

people can be over bearing in their views and how they express them and people can also be hyper sensitive to anything contrary to their own line of thinking. In both cases you get the fringe elements that don't accept any real discussion. Maybe we just have different ideas about what political correctness is.

For sure. For me, I don't post a lot - but I ghost post a ton, and it's usually when I step back and try and think of what someone reading my post might come across; and usually it's when one of the two extremes you point out might pop up (and that I don't really want to/have time to get into a back-and-forth with someone).
