I thought I'd be immune to what drives the tilted right from this board, but I guess I'm not.

It's not fun anymore, its not even neutral.

One of my best friends and most brilliant men I know is a socialist. What’s nice with him is that we agree on the facts and issues up to the point of solution, where he goes left and I go right. I love debating with him, because he has intellectual honesty and a knowledge of history comparable to my own. We disagree here and there about some facts, but they are always at least debatable ones. I owe him a lot in my life as our research together was a big part of my success.

I'd hoped I'd find that sort of debate here, something where I could see the other sides point of view and understand why they have it.

I haven't.

What I've found is seething with hatred, often illogical complaints, and selective history, from all but a handful. Its like having a debate with a religious fanatic (the irony), and all you can do is try to smile and turn away.

This isn't meant to be melodramatic, just disappointment. Maybe things will change here and maybe not. I can’t try to change it at this point, I’m to jaded. It really doesn't matter as all of us really mean squat in the grand political scheme of things.

Goodbye and catch you on the other boards.
