I’ve certainly contributed to toxicity on here, try my best not to offer a contrarian position or one that will upset someone.
But then suddenly my ire cannot be pacified, I post my opinion in a prickish way....and while I may feel good about it for a short while, I ultimately I regret it.

I think my point here is that nuances, respectful disagreements and finer points are foregone online in favour of a one size “Fitz Hall” my side against yours.

Ultimately, when things are really partisan no one wins.
We are seeing it more and more now and it’s sad.
this is spot on. consensus politics is far better than the partisan crap we are served up daily. Perhaps if we had PR rather than FPTP this would not be the case.
