If what is bothering you is the lack of capability for discussion, maybe the stackoverflow chat announcement will warm your heart: blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/chat-now-in-public-beta ... I believe every stackexchange site will obtain it eventually. | |

| Aug 14, 2010 at 10:11 | comment | added | user1119 | Since the meta site here is based on the stackexchange software rather than a traditional discussion forum, flame wars are less likely by design itself. Moreover good and helpful posts would get voted up and rude and nasty posts will get voted down. Upvotes are possible even for comments. Thus there will be immediate feedback. For all these reasons I like the software backend a lot. Still you do have a point; humans are humans and we better cultivate a pleasant atmosphere. | |
