I find the people that I disagree with have much better points, with significantly fewer radicals, idiots or crusaders.

Honestly, it gives me hope.

My best experiences online have been as part of smaller communities where you can actually know and recognize other people. I see people commenting on threads and I can remember them talking in a different thread (or multiple threads). So it is much easier to know ‘ok that guy is touchy about this thing but is otherwise a decent person’ and not treat everyone like a 1-dimensional character.
