Online, discussions can be way more chill and reasonable. IRL I find that some people just use the "yell over you and don't care what you say" technique and then it just turns into nothing but yelling back at each other with the possibility of physical violence from how unbearable these situations are. Online, you can't do that.

Yeah, at least online you can back up your arguments with well thought out research and tactics. In real life, you only have your own word and bias. Sadly, their bias always overpowers your knowledge, facts, and no one wants to be wrong. The longer the argument goes on the less I want to prove them wrong, because they'll resent me for it. So I just don't argue, and say "Is that right? Neat." or something like that.
