Q: On seasoned after-analysis, was the provided debate exchange:
a) more polite and calm
b) less polite and calm
c) equivalently polite and calm, or
d) not measurable/quantifiable
with respect to the provided Facebook tirades?

I am always a bit curious as to how our expectations alter our responses to things, and have noticed myself thinking "oh, that's a remarkably calm response!" when the item is still not actually *calm* (or acceptable or reasonable), but where I was assuming that the response would be frothingly angry and totally illogical or such.

KC - Vidal and Buckley were b) less polite and calm. In fact, Gary specifically is very calm on Facebook and in real life can get purple with rage over the same topics.

That is interesting, the calm-on-Facebook thing! (that is probably a good thing; while there is such a thing as being too calm in a debate, on the internet it is... rare.)

KC - He is pretty polite when he's in social settings, too.
