And it's also why it's not just OKP but on many message boards that lend themselves well to arguing online. The people who feel the strongest about an issue in one direction or the other are gonna be the people who actually participate in that specific post. The people who are really the majority and in the middle are like "Eh" and either just read the post for lols or keep scrolling until they find a post that touches a nerve. Like you said, waiting to find the post that makes them want to put on their cape.

So when you're reading a typical post with tons of arguments back and forth it's just the people on the extremes of the issue and it feels like on here everyone is extremely against the "norm".
