I have been here at is it normal for 2 years and 10 months. I would like to move on to another web site for discussion, but find that the rude and crude interactions at is it normal contain about 10% comments that are intelligent or thoughtful. Is there any site that is better? If so, please tell us why.

YouTube. I've been in some heated debates in the past with users and video uploaders. The cool thing is the video is the subject. How many subjects? About a billion. But sadly now people are too afraid to speak their mind because of Google + so we revert back to IIN ----)
It is definitely not the best place for discussions on the internet.
What I do like here, however, is the complete lack of moderation. As a first-amendment-absolutist, I absolutely love it.
Meh, the internet is the internet. Some places are better for discussions than IIN, some aren't. I'd like to find a place to discuss certain things too, so if you find one I'd like to check it out muhself. :P
This is how it works and how it will always work. How good a site is depends on moderation. If Moderation is A.Understaffed B.Not very good than your experience will vary depending on the people joining the website. Sites like this attracts the pretentious snobs, and the biggest creeps/rejects/freaks/criminals of society. Along with everything in between.
The older members seem to eventually become bitter and turn into sarcastic assholes overtime, I think often annoyed from being asked the same damn question 1000 times and these stupid idiots not being able to figure this shit out on their own. This website seems to depend on the gold members to help moderate so there is a lot of room for bias. When Moderation either asks members to STAFF or let people govern themselves things are often ran by popularity.
Depending on the crop of people on each website, determines what is needed to make you popular. Sometimes its being a big bully and picking on people trying to act more intelligent than you really are. On some sites its being considerate and caring about others and doing the right thing. On some site its ruining your enemy's reputation so bad they have to leave, or everyone wants this person to hang themselves. What I say does not just apply to this website or well websites specifically.
I hope this helps you OP.
