Sorry, perhaps I have not made myself clear. I too can ignore the idiots, I am more than willing to do this face to face as I like debating. The problem is that the internet has allowed those who are unwilling to debate to hide behind a screen and opinion is now sought and policies formed as a result of what is trending.
As an example Ched Evans, convicted rapist. Now the various feminist groups have decided that he should not be allowed to work again and have targeted any football club or individuals who have suggested that he should be allowed to work. The law says once he has served his sentence that he is free to continue his work, but this is not being allowed as the internet is being used. Even if he wins his judicial review and the decision is overturned, what club will offer him a contract knowing that sponsers will be harassed by huge numbers and their lives will be made a misery? If they had to by a stamp and send it would this have become an issue for people?
It is this sort of mob rule that he internet has fostered and allowed complete nut jobs a platform to spout hate and bigoted views with ease.
I love what it has done for education and entertainment, but I do feel that we have lost a huge amount for what we have gained.
