Yes, but on the bright side, Aaron Burr would only have flamed him.

Would Alexander Hamilton have called Thomas Jefferson a "dumbass" if the internet had been around back then?I think he'd probably call TJ a "marxist".

Hamilton was killed in duel. The duel was over a political fight. You might also read up on the
Philadelphia Aurora. Even the worst of FR arguments are polite, and well-mannered in comparison to real political fights, or the verbal battles fought by pamphlet, letter and paper in the early days of the republic.
