I think that a big problem, that seems to be getting worse on both sides was captured in the following

When people have actual reasons for disagreeing with you, they offer those reasons without hesitation. Strangers on social media will cheerfully check your facts, your logic, and your assumptions. But when you start seeing ad hominem attacks that offer no reasons at all, that might be a sign that people in the mass hysteria bubble don’t understand what is wrong with your point of view except that it sounds more sensible than their own.
It is getting more and more difficult to have actual discussions, it's easier and lazier to just label the other side, and avoid it all together.
Also, appreciate the link... I didn't realize Scott Adams had a blog, and it looks like I would enjoy following it.
Says the guy who refused to discuss things in his last thread, lol.
