In a heated discussion thread we forget that web forums and bulletin boards are not the best place for realtime conversations.

On HN people often do not reply on replies to their comments and it does not mean that they do agree.
It seems like a rather nice thing which helps to avoid many ego-battles.
Not to start an argument, but that could also be because HN doesn't automatically notify you of replies. I'm subscribed to the email notifier, but that was created by a third party and I doubt if a majority of the users know about it.
It contributes as well.
