I've thought about your complaints about Hubski. Politeness can be an obstacle to meaningful discussion, but, on balance, I think rudeness is probably a worse one. Oddly enough, I like your tone -- I think. Part of the problem with discussion sites in general is the same problem I have noticed in email. The tone is very much up to the emotional state of the reader. Things that ought not to be heated arguments easily get that way because one of the parties is just especially paranoid that day. Not that some things aren't worth heated arguments. I have thought too, as white alluded to below, that maybe the casual muter is not worth worrying about anyway. Though it is hard not to. We're probably hardwired that way.
