>Obviously any kind of argument between anonymous people has no other purpose than "who's right" contest. :)
That may be very true and is not only a problem for strangers but for close people too. Its the cause of most divorces and leads often to hating women (and men OTOH). LOL.

In the German language (the one in the country of poets and philosophers) you find the word "Streitkultur" which means "culture of debate". It's remarkable that only the German and the Portuguese wikipedia hold an entry for this lemma. The first one is most likely the "original" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streitkultur), the second is a slightly extended translation.

In a nutshell:
Having a culture of debate means being able to represent one's own point of view with words and media without denying the other that he too has and may have a different point of view.
The principle of a constructive culture of debate is: Conflicts between individuals and groups are normal. They are the natural, even necessary, consequence of living together as a human being. The problem is not so much whether there are conflicts as how they are carried out, i. e. how the conflict partners argue with each other: level-headed and cooperative or authoritarian and violent. A constructive culture of debate means speaking one's mind openly and fairly without hurting each other.
There are "Fair Dispute Rules" like "a dispute is no sporting competition" and "a good argument ends with a settlement and not with one side triumphing over the other".
(from the German Wikipedia - translated by Ggl with a little human help)

Objection! You can't believe they have it at this age. Although children are not asexual they don't think in these dimensions. What you wrote about the grown-ups is sadly true. And it is unbelievable that this still happens.
