This is because of the automatic reflex of the human mind to be a dickhead to people who can't see or do anything to them.
Anyway, my experiences are not like that. Me and my friend Paddy Bourke are quite often getting in discussions, debates and arguments on Facebook, and with a considerable amount of passion. But he's one of my best friends, and even in person we have massive arguments over things like politics and football, and politics in football, and why I think politics shouldn't be anything to do with football. And other things, but a lot of the time it's about that. We once had an argument about Iron Maiden too because he said they were all unionist pricks based on a claim that they burnt an Irish flag on stage...although there's never been any actual photos or video footage of it. That's another story anyway.
TL,DR: if I argue with people on Facebook, I argue with them in person too.

Re: 2011 Internet Winner
That's probably because you're mature enough to only argue when there's something to argue about. I'm 15, and naturally I have many other friends of similar age. I see exactly what zoid was saying all the time, one person will comment something completely asinine and uncalled for on someone's status, and a huge and ferocious swear-war will ensue for about 20 comments. I've been in one myself, but that's only because this asshole in my class (who I argue with IRL) was being a dick to this girl just because she dumped him, because he was an asshole. Of course, few people want to get punched in the face, so this doesn't happen outside of FB. It's worse when everyone's anonymous.

The Internet is a vast and terrible place full of strange and illogical things.
