Assumptions much? Hubski is not a news webiste. And as it has been pointed out, thoughtful does not mean intellectual. I've found plenty of thoughtful discussions here. I'm also curious, who was this article intended for? You don't link to any of the discussions you mention so it can't be for people not familiar with Hubski (or maybe you simply don't want them to go read these threads and make up their minds themselves?). So was it written for us, the users of Hubski, that you already knew would disagree? Well you wrote that article. We disagree. What now?A Note for Hubskyites: You will find unfollow, mute, and filter buttons located conveniently on my page. Feel free to use them – thoughtfully, of course.
Hey to be honest, I think we're getting some great discussion out of it. Almost everyone seems to have identified a different weak point in the arguments being made. I've found with my book club that often the books several or most people dislike generate the most discussion. It helps if one or two are staunchly defending the book. If everyone likes something, the discussion becomes more boring (although it doesn't have to).
