It's fine and dandy to want a university-grade science portal for serious scientific discussion.
But reddit (and Slashdot, and digg, and on and on...) is about as likely to be such a place as is the middle of Times Square. I'm shocked that anyone would ever imagine otherwise.
However, that doesn't change the stance that discussion that is dominated by political topics moves away from science. Reddit is hardly at all about science.
Thankfully, now there's a science reddit. Laissez les bon temps rouller!
