I'd say arguing is a good thing as long as it's done in a polite and respectful manner. Unfortunately the lack of context when using text-based communication leaves interpretation errors wide open, and with it come the emotional responses we know and loathe (from angry texting to trolls to flat earthers). Therefore since the internet is mostly text-based, it's probably better to leave the arguing off it for the moment. But I think the problem is not limited to the internet.
