I understand your point but I find it interesting that others cannot.

IMHO, online bickerers don't care for understanding. Understanding requires responding, not reacting. If we take a step back to contemplate your words, we lose the stimulation in the exchange.

I've thought about that for myself: missing the other person's point and debating imaginary outrages isn't actually fun or even winning. It's just stimulation for an internet addiction.
