I rarely see threats, I do see that dialogue is rarely actually happening, its usually just shit flinging with buzzwords like cuck, biggot, xenophobe, leftist, commie, nazi etc. Rarely do I see people make arguments, and even rarer do I see people actually arguing as in exchanging ideas and answering each others questions. The more mainstream a site gets, the worse it seems to be. Especially where voting is involved (reddit, facebook etc). Add to this "grassroots" efforts to "takeover" public internet forums, which has been going on for decades by both far left and right wingers. Applying for moderator roles, not because they want to moderate discussion, but have complete control of it..
