Have you been anywhere else recently? Can you give an example of a community, of comparable magnitude, that is more open minded?

No community is perfect, but I'd say that Metafilter is considerably more tolerant and open to a wide range of opinions on a subject. You can't downvote others if you disagree with them, and baseless attacks are simply deleted by moderators; it forces you to build a well-reasoned argument if you want to debate.

Metafilter is a great site, I go there often and think every highly of it- but it is at least one order of magnitude smaller than reddit.
