I think that comment sections aren't the right place to look for thoughtful sharing of ideas. Wikipedia has made the dream of freely sharing information true. I think there are outlets for the thoughtful sharing of information and new ideas, and outlets for spewing base insults and opinions. The latter is more obvious because everyone can toss around insults, but only some people are dedicated to saying something articulate. It just depends on where you look.
