Somehow it is popular to adhere to binary thinking. Eg. - For operating systems: only apple is good, the rest is bad. - For politics: choose a side Also the "if you are not for me, then you are against me" kind of trope. That's just how it is, I don't think you can change that. Some people have made their mind up and are only willing to make you change your mind and not listen to any reason from another point of view. Then there's the abuse. Where somebody is no longer debating a topic, but start getting personal. That's almost always a sign of acting in bad faith. Those are the type of posts that have a likely hood of needing some moderating. Once somebody like that pops up, they are likely to have crossed a limit that makes them easier to show up on your radar. Sometimes it is an accident, but other times it is a pattern. It can be interesting to know why somebody acts like that, but perhaps it is better to not know that. Especially when they are not willing to change their behavior.
