Do you discuss politics at work in an online forum where 100 000 persons can pitch in? It is very different from discussing politics in person, things gets way more toxic online since there are more people who can take offence so arguments often escalate.

Sure - I get that. I understand with enough people in a semi-anonymous forum that it could get toxic quickly from just a few bad actors.

However, a lot of the commentary here has been around in-person interactions and not on an online forum.
