I don't mean to imply that you didn't author anything of value in the post. The meta was certainly of interest. I'd just hesitate to call a few paragraphs of discussion of the reasons behind SO's moderation your "best post ever."
Come to think of it, I wouldn't call an array of proposed/observed novel jargon that either, regardless of its source.
Believe me, I have serious issues with the "top N funny things" sorts of content that rules the web, and that is reflected in the design of Stack Exchange.
At the same time, I am torn, because you can learn a little bit from content like this. And the audience loves it. If we didn't have any systems in place to tamp down on poll/survey/opinion questions, Stack Overflow would be virtually nothing but those kinds of question. They are INSANELY popular.
How about an extra core site that isn't required to follow the "every question only exists to educate those who end up finding it through Google" pattern of the rest of the StackExchange network, but simply serves as a StackExchange-powered community forum? Of course, It would only really make sense if whole topics could be pushed there with all their comments and votes intact; otherwise it would just be a ghetto to shove overly-gregarious users into.
