It is, perhaps, a little bit format and a little bit social norm. Please don't mistake me: I generally like LW's style, as I think forum discussions tend to go on ad naseum, end up having little to do with the original topic, and devolve into little more than a pissing match between two people who don't recognize they are largely debating definitions.
Ah, so not encouraging comprehensive discussion you actually see as a positive!
Well, there is a balance between saying too much and not saying enough. The internet (and namely forums) are notoriously guilty of the former.
I like LW because it seems to avoid the afformentioned pissing matches that are common to the forums I've looked at. I get good information and do my own research.
If I want to beat a topic to death (and I sometimes do), I've observed LW is not the sort of place where that is welcome (or at least it just doesn't seem to happen).
Gotcha, makes sense.
