It's more your weak use of logic and lack of supporting points makes me think you are trying to make me annoyed rather than prove your point.

I do not think that "it has links to start discussions" make it a social bookmarking site. I think it is bookmarking + public that make it a social bookmarking site.

HN is a forum and a social news site. Delicious is social bookmarking and maybe a weak social news site, but not a forum.

Slashdot, also mentioned in the article, is DEFINITELY not a social bookmarking site. Surely you agree with this?

Incidentally, I picked a random forum, and looked at a few items. They all seemed to be started around links: http://www.r8talk.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=fa7531fdc42e...
