Why I love Galt's Gulch Online: An Example
Yesterday, I started a thread on a point which I was mulling over in regard to today's university education.

For the first time in a long time, I found that an issue which I proposed met a majority of disagreement.
And not just disagreement, but strong disagreement.
And do you know what happened?
Intellectually honest, vigorous debate.
So to those of you who participated, *especially* those of you who disagreed:
thank you for placing me in a position to further think out my arguments and work to make them clearer and stronger.
That's what debate is supposed to be about.
We might not agree, but, hey, we're not robots.
