    You all are so cool!

    I just gotta say this...

    You all are so cool!

    There is some of the most thoughtful, knowledgeable discussion on this site. Much higher signal-to-noise ratio here than places like slashdot and the like. Almost everyone here seems to be able to discuss almost any topic that comes up, make reasoned arguments based on actual evidence, and engage in a respectful intellectual process working towards -- if not agreement, then at least common understanding. And you all have fun while doing it!

    I am really enjoying this site, more for the water cooler now than for the fencing stuff (where really the same stuff keeps being said over and over).

    I didn't expect fencers to be so eclectic. I guess I expected a predominance of "new england patricians" with a few "southern gentlemen." But instead there's a wide variety of perspectives. That's also very cool.
    Freedom of speech makes it easier to spot the idiots.

    You're right, there's a lot of good discussions here.

    I'd say the people whose posts I enjoy most (in no particular order) are probably Maeve Mari, Eskreemr, Inquartata, ThatReallyHurt, Larrison, Jeff, JBirch, Soldier, Gojujay, and HowToBrew.

    (I enjoy almost everyone else's, too, of course.)
    Just because you have the right, that doesn't mean it is right.

    Yeah. I find the discussions overall more rational and supportive than, say, Metafilter or even Monkeyfilter.
