Actually I think part of the reason why debates on Britarch tend to develop in the way that they do is to do with the email-based format. Incoming email tends to provoke an instant response and it is quite easy to get worked up.
On this forum it is possible to see the whole debate at a glance. Therefore the various positions are easier to interpret, and usually someone has posted something with which I broadly agree before I feel the need to chip in. Also the format tends to encourage shorter posts (with the exception of one or two people).
