I am not talking about bookworms smartass who just memorize and repeat facts we all know, neither am I talking about "Know it All" who just create a mockery of you for asking a question seem commonly in answers.yahoo.com

I am talking about decent human beings who are simply interested in finding the truth, not trying to prove who is right or wrong, like the ones here. But, what other such forums exist on net, in reality, I have found Chess club to be such an aid, but what else?

Thanks.

This forum is among the best I have seen as to substantial factual debate. There will always be a percentage that has more passion than sense but it becomes quickly evident who these individuals are. I spend time at the Mensa Forums and find the level of discourse similar to here. Those discussions also include the full spectrum of viewpoints including both extremes, with a comparable mix of trolls, lightweights, thoughtful, or insightful contributors.
 
Hmm... I'm either not brilliant, not a scientist, or possibly neither.
