I would disagree with HN having "quality discussion". I've honestly never seen dang come down on someone where I agreed with it.
I've seen him moderate people because they're posting too much "anti-this or anti-that". Not because of their behavior, but because he didn't like what they were posting.
And this community is aware that dang will do that, so you watch them flag ideas that absolutely have no reason for being moderated.
To be quite frank, I don't really like HN's community, I mostly lurk for the interesting things that get posted, rather than the discussion that comes afterwards.
HN is about backrubbing discussion, I don't know that I'd call it good or quality discussion. That's not to say you don't see good discussion here or there, but in general? no, absolutely not.
