>I've never been a part of a community as educated, rational, intelligent, curious, and generally not mean-spirited. I see people say this a lot but I get the impression it just means they agree with everything that is said and what is said is usually main-stream liberal ideology.
On the contrary, one of the reasons I'm fond of the community is the rational debates. Hubski is predominantly socially liberal because the educated demographic is statistically socially liberal. It's not, however, predominantly fiscally liberal. There are quite a few fiscal conservatives here. I participate in a number of websites and communities that are socially liberal, but not rational or intelligent. For example, Imgur is socially liberal, probably because they attract the young and international demographics. But I would hardly call the community educated, intelligent, or rational. Nothing against them; it's a great place for visual entertainment, just not intellectual discussion.it just means they agree with everything that is said

That's debatable, to be honest. Disagreements can occur a lot on Hubski, but they occur calmy, courteously, and I would say with both parties taking something away from it. Slap fights aren't really a thing here, and people usually give thorough, reflective responses to conversations. Unless you mean the sentence you quoted is said about communities in general, in which case this is possibly true.
