i don't think that's the whole story. there is a question/answer thread on stackoverflow that revolves around a post i made on my blog. seeing that the answers weren't reflecting as much as i personally know about the subject, i figured out how to log in to stack overflow. then i discovered i didn't have enough karma or whatever to leave a comment. i don't care enough to stick around however long it would take to get however much karma it would take to do that. so, too bad stackoverflow users, you're not getting the benefit of my knowledge.

SO isn't oriented around debate but around solving specific problems. I've asked many questions whose answers I needed. I've often gotten answers but not always. In this sense, "threads" or debates on some external issue are already a fail for SO's intent. I'm sure they're there but they're the exception. Also - it takes 0 karma to answer a question and you get unlimited space. It takes 50 karma to leave a comment and you get about 200 words. If you've got lots of knowledge, you should have answered the question rather than tried to leave a comment on someone else's answer.
