That's definitely a part of it, but the line gets crossed when we stop talking about the series and start talking about how we're talking to each other. We don't actually discuss Star Trek so much as point out different ways we could have communicated to one another.
I am just not going to comment and interact with Stamets, because I acknowledge the passion, and agree it's great, but you can have passion and still know how to communicate with people without being seemingly hostile. When you call somebody "utterly wrong" they're going to be upset, even if you just meant "I vehemently disagree with you" there's simply more diplomatic ways to get your point across.
I think we would probably get along better if we heard each other vocally. I know a lot of people who I disagree with when we're typing but they come off totally different when they're speaking because you can hear the tone.
