if can explain a lot about how disagreements form when talking online...!
Compounding the issue online is the high-latency nature of conversations. Everything has to be done in large packets of information.
When a bunch of sticking points crop up simultaneously in face-to-face chat, especially if you also have materials like pencil and paper on hand for support, the whack-a-mole is easy.
When a bunch of sticking points crop up simultaneously in forum posts, you have to answer tons of them at once in a well-structured textwall, and you can't address questions people have as they're reading.
