One thing I like about HN, is I can see many comments that I think are totally outrageously wrong and still get into a civil discussion with someone on why they think that way.

This would never go down on Twitter, Reddit etc. I think by virtue of being here, there's at least a semblance of something that unites us.

That being said, I've definitely seen a few situations where "logical fallacies" have been wheeled out to try and autowin an argument. However, this is usually the exception and when things get really bad the moderation is usually on point.
