When did the Internet come to reflect society? Or has society shaped the internet? Were we always distrusting mean and vindictive before the net? Are we really that bad?

People want to go to the town square (or internet forum) to present their case, but they refuse to engage in challenging their own position to improve it or change it.

There seems to be an emotional connection to opinions, that result in people ignoring or deflecting from direct evidence that challenges it.
