FB can act as toxic behavior multiplier, though. Indeed, the medium can alter the message. For example, supposedly any extra lag in voice communication makes participants think the other person is angry. We also see groups that never had close proximity now interacting directly and finding that they disagree pretty strongly on fundamentals. So there may be ways to facilitate the same discussions, but more productively and humanely. And it simply might not be possible for people with diametrically opposed beliefs to do this -- there may need to be a game of a few layers of telephone, or at least an active moderator as in a formal debate, to help translate meaning and intent across the epistemological divide.
