Yeah, can't say that I've seen a lot of that on social media.
You don't need social media to do rational discourse, anyway. All you need is two-way communication, a problem that the Internet solved long before any Facebooks or Twitters popped up. You can have rational discourse on IRC, an email list, or even through instant messaging.
I know you're being hyperbolic here, but unfortunately there are a lot of people now who really do see social media as "the whole Internet". And they have thrown a lot away as a result.
Hahahahahahahaha
depends on who you're talking to, and in which rooms.
