Trying to talk reason to multiple sides makes you an outcast.

Lol case in point: me trying to have a reasonable discussion about property taxes going up 66% in one year.

I thought people might argue that this could put an unfair burden on poor families or fixed income families, or maybe some reason to justify or not.

Nope. Lots of name calling, trying to dox me, ad hominem attacks on everyone from multiple sides.

I'm convinced that anonymity (or, more correctly, perceived anonymity) makes some people act in ways they never would face to face.

Eh this probably makes me a "Boomer" but I've seen it for years. Basically everyone's a troll now.
