Not exactly. I saw a type of interaction on Reddit, and Hacker News, and Metafilter, and IRL, and sought to make a place that focused on that.

Thoughtful. I don't care much about being right about something. I do care a lot about learning new things, and getting insight into issues from other perspectives. People say shit to each other on many forums that wouldn't deserve a response IRL, and in many cases, they would probably feel like a fool for saying it. That kind of interaction has some value, but it kills the potential for other kinds of interactions. I've seen a number of folk in here drop little more than an opinion, or bait for a shallow argument, and it sucks the potential life out of what could be a good topic for conversation.
