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.
