Yes. Further, posts don't have to be aggressive to be intimidating. The regular group here, with years of online experience, does argument at a level that is a fair ways beyond what unpracticed posters can match.

Discussing politics can be very contentious.

Dunno, mebbe.

Still, there is room for reasonable discourse without the bomb throwing, namecalling, and personal attacks.

Political discussions become pretty rough sometimes, that is natural. But this is no reason to stay away from them if there is a serious political interest.

I believe many just don't want to be involved in the perceived unpleasantness.

Texting has replaced writing and then there is Facebook and Twitter to occupy people on the internet.
