kleinbl00, I subscribe to your hub because I found most of your posts and comments to be interesting and thought provoking. Your thoughts on many matters have an experienced and mature sense to them, unlike the usual garbage one expect to find sprawled all over the internet. Your comment I will drag this place down into Flame War Central if that's what it takes. is so out of my perceived nature of your experienced and mature persona. If I did not know better, I would have thought the threat to have came from a spoiled 5 year old.

I did not read the article nor did I participate in the original post, but from what I am able to gathered, differing opinions were expressed that were somewhat touchy for those involved in the discussion. Not everyone is going to see eye to eye and agree on everything and that is what makes for a good discussion. What fun would that be if we all just buzzed along to the same tune and be nothing more than a part of the hive mind. What I find most appealing about Hubski is the diversity of opinions and experiences of the community, despite the fact that it is not nearly as big as the other social news sites. In many ways, it feels more diverse than both Digg and Reddit combined. Hubksi to me has been a great platform for me to discover news and ideas (a lot of which came from you) and to interact with a great community of intelligent individuals. I surely do hope that the "flame war central" comment was nothing more than words from a heat of the moment impulse. It will be a horrible thing if yet another platform with such great potential see its fire snuffed out.
