First, let me remind you that internet debates involve writing.
Then let me present to you the philosophical seminars of ancient Greece and the point-counterpoint literary pamphlets from the Restoration Period (or hell, any piece written before the internet). Both styles of argument fully allow structuring of arguments and the ability to dissect the entire idea, while Athenian person-on-person stylings actually having a larger emphasis on it.
Basically, you fail at the internet.
