Okay devil's advocate...
Belligerent to you or them? Sometimes we find belligerence where we look for it and do not allow the other side its just due.
Devil's Advocate role duly noted, but there is usually a pretty big difference in conversational tenor when one side is being sensitive to slights versus when one side is uncommonly brusque.

I feel that this is what makes our nation/society/community/village great. We are allowed to express differing ideas and have differing opinions without fear of governmental, judicial, or monetary reprisal.
I don't think there needs to be an increase of fearfulness, but rather an increase in respect.
Like I said, I do love to argue, but there is a distinct difference between a constructive argument and ones that do more harm than good.
IMO, online anonymity to the point has given rise to more of the latter. Anonymity itself can be a great thing. Combines with respectful give and take, it becomes even better.
We'll see if there's a rise in constructive disagreement as social media communication becomes even more ingrained in our culture and worldwide. It's still quite new.

"Respect"? I think I just left a thread were you were calling a rather respectful poster a " thin skinned p***y" .
Maybe that guy is right . You try a bit too hard at times.
