I guess it really makes a difference how you're having an argument. Generally irl, arguments would be more logical as it is easy to determine if there is sarcasm involved, etc.

Online it may be hard to determine the writers intent, and some may just dismiss the writers comment. This aspect might be the reason why arguments online are so ferocious.
