Are We REALLY Having This Conversation?

Okay, so I'm a blogger. I have my own blog sites and I participate on several others. What I hoped to find was more healthy dialogue. Don't get me wrong. I like the occasional juicy shit too, hence the reason I have my own personal blog.
Currently, I blogging on a site that I will not name, and some of the discussions are downright idiotic! This surprises me because of who sponsors this site. I thought I'd find intelligent exchanges of ideas and thought-provoking subjects. There are a few others who probably thought the same thing.
What I've come across is BS. Gossiping about celebs? I mean they gossip like they know these people personally! Making bold statements and verbally attacking others who don't agree. WTF?
Now, any of you who know me or have read my posts know I can handle my shit when I'm being attacked, but attack me with facts! Attack me with statistics! Attack me with something scholarly that backs up your claims! I can take it, really.
What happens instead? I get attacked with misspelled words. I get attacked by someone threatened by my opinion or just looking to unleash on someone. Again, I can take it.
Here's some juice: unleash the dictionary, spell-check, Google, ask Jeeves, yahoo!, Google scholars, etc!
It takes no time to research your idea/claim or spelling/grammar before you get on the web and write dumb shit, putting your ignorance on blast.
Call me a snob, a geek or 'boojie' (I've been called all those things and worse), but I'd rather debate with someone who can spell and isn't defending their statements with something they read from a cereal box or heard on an Ice Cube CD!
I'm out.
