For what it's worth, commenting on LW is so far from normal conversation and normal internet use that most intellects haven't developed methods for it

This is interesting-- LW seems to be pretty natural for me. I think the only way my posting here is different from anywhere else is that my sentences might be more complex.

On the other hand, once I had a choice, I've spent most of my social life in sf fandom, where the way I write isn't wildly abnormal, I think.

Anyone who's reading this, do you think what's wanted at LW is very different from what's wanted in other venues?

LW is substantially higher-level than most (all?) forums that I've been to, including private ones and real name only ones. The standard of discourse just seems better here in general.
