Everything seems to deteriorate to a fight between parties. Rational argumentation that contributes to the presented subject becomes rare. Instead you see the pro/con, fanboy/hateboy 'debates' with low signal to noise ratio. I guess the political system (government vs. opposition, left vs. right, ...) has had a negative influence on public discussion in general. People increasingly think that public discussion means the clash of parties that fight against each other until there is a winner and a loser. The popular TV debates are based on that format.
