The desire to drag our discourse down toward the level of other sites is understandable. The lower common denominators of dialog have their common appeal. Typing whatever comes into one's head without regard for how this affects the level of other responses is far easier than consideration and self-editing. Focusing on our own individual wants isn't the same as focusing on the long-term broader view. All along, the vision here has been to work to create a site that offers an alternative direction to the common levels of discourse on the Internet.
