The research on this website's comments is interesting, but I think we can safely assume that on the average, on other websites this effect is much stronger. Here I've seen several times that people appreciate posts even if they don't agree with them, if the arguments are well-presented. I think this happens much less often on other sites when dealing with ideological topics.
