You forgot to mention about waiting 28 days for delivery.  I remember as a boy waiting for the postman before I set out for school to see if my order from Rye Stamp and Hobby shop was about to be delivered.  It took an age!!!

Also you forgot to mention that debates were carried out by letter in magazines rather than online.  Which, of course, gave people the opportunity to reread  what they had written before lipping the envelope and affixing a stamp.  Mind you, there were still some fairly intemperate exchanges in the letters column.
