May be a larger number of folks, but most folks that approach an online forum come expecting dissenting opinions, provocative discussions, and disagreements. People enter in a forum like this expecting opposing views for discussion, thereby most come with some defenses in place and let "lay into them" comments roll off of them pretty easy. It doesn't create as much division and disharmony as this is not the same type of gathering. The number of folks may be larger... but the impact is less deep because of the nature most approach it with.
Most folks don't expect to attend a Revival meeting at their own church and have some little preacher that is visiting get up and tell them how wrong they are and how they're going to split hell wide open when he was asked to greet them and testify. It's an unexpected shot from left field for them...
