>The idea that two wildly different people with different points of view can't even exist in the same social network is nonsense
I agree. However I do see this happening. Its kinda crazy. I remember being on the internet as a kid (probably on sites I had no business being on lol) and people would get into heated arguments but I don't think it ever resulted in "I hate you, I'm going to try to get you banned via politics". I was around animation and creative type forums and people would go at each others throats but then like you say, bond over talking about a new software tool or animation lol.
