I'm not sure that I agree that Hubski doesn't provide thoughtful insight. I don't often discuss thing with other people on here, but it isn't to say I haven't absorbed opinions. I think in this case "thoughtful" works in two ways. 1. absorbed in or involving thought. 2. showing consideration for the needs of other people. Its about thinking for sure, but it is also about caring and respecting those who you are having the discussion with. I don't know many of these people personally, but I think I have definitely gained some respect for them as people. I think that has some importance, and I think that's why mk uses "thoughtful"Maybe if "thoughtful" means "friendly" I can see your goal, but as it is, this site is little improved over something like facebook in it's early days. A gathering place for well-educated, tech-oriented people. Nothing baked into hubski encourages thoughtful discussion.
