Not sure if it's the case anymore, but strong opinions were matched with EQUALLY STRONG STYLISTIC CHOICE!!!!!!!, often coupled with poor grammar/spelling, and a tendency to lean more towards rehashing the same opinion rather than making a rational argument for it.
I dunno, I get this as much from old people too. I think it's less an indicator of age and more an indication of people who aren't great at thinking.
