Yes. This is a point I was making earlier. Even family and friends can deeply offend one another when they are at odds over political issues and it shouldn't be amongst Christians. I've seen it on the forums as well. Last election cycle I was still here, and a sister (I will not name her) said something I found deeply offensive about the candidate I was hoping would win, and I said something back. She said something back, and it darn near ended the friendship.
People including Christians hurt one another over issues like this, and the hurt leads to more hurt, and even to families being broken up and destroyed. We should be wiser than to be letting that happen.
"Hooked" On Political Hate, Part 1 Sad to say it, but too many Christians are being lured into resentment and even hatred over political issues these days. It is a strategy the enemy is using to great effect to bring shame upon the name of Christ, especially on Christian forums, where...

I am understanding of the troubling matters that you, I and others have encountered in forums related to debates becoming heated, including political ones. And I know the moderators and also members have spoken out about Christian to Christian proper communication similar to what is usually found in an in-person congregation of a local Church building which is more kind, gentle and loving. I think the internet is quite different for many reasons.
I agree with some other posters in this thread on issues related to providing correction to other Christians and sometimes non-Christians. I know God would like us to do that in a manner consistent with how he would do that as in Fatherly love direction to provide for happy and joyful child of God interactions. He is slow to anger and gave us direction to be gentle along with other goodness:
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those
who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
I know often times Jesus' great example was to remain silent, but I did love the fact that he spoke out and corrected a lot of believers in the bible including his disciples. We are not the great example of Jesus, God's only begotten son, but we are loved by God and hopefully we all understand that and are not quick to be contentious:
1 Corinthians 11:16 But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor
do the churches of God.
I think we should represent God as Christians in example in regard to communication and other conduct. I like the idea of bringing matters of correction up to the God in prayer before just responding. I know that probably doesn't happen much especially on social media. There is this lack of proper communication when exchanging that communication in a written English language, along with intentional internet disruptive persons that might be foreign country attempts at election steering which is a current news presented concern, and other persons promoting intentional internet disruptions. I know God does not always want us to correct someone and there is a matter of wisdom in waiting and as they say "choosing your battles wisely". But when God's loving Holy Spirit and other directions from God come up, I hope that myself included will stand up for goodness from God and represent God and his gospel message.

I think I have noticed that with written communication like that found in social media there sometimes are multiple ways to interpret a statement and sometimes we may not interpret statements the way they were intended. I prefer in person interaction with vocal tones, facial expressions, body language and other clues that help in healthy communication between people.

Thank you for your time. Cheers :)
