I appreciate the effort Civil Beat is doing to upgrade it's comment section and beef up the policing of it. As with the sentiments of many others expressed here, the quality of the dialogue on hot topics must be promoted. However, we must as a community also demand that the dialogue be of a higher quality than basing all ideas on the lowest common denominator. Subjects such as the TMT, Hawaiian Sovereignty, Rail, elections, the Legislature or even the hot social topic of the day needs to be responded to in a civil, intelligent way. Mahalo again for continuing to improve on what is already a awesome site.
