This board is good thinkin' and writing practice for me. I think i've learned to try to take a more balanced approach to evaluating things that i'm not entirely familiar with or passionate about. It helps me take my mind off of things that i would otherwise obsess over(analysis paralysis is a jerk). I think it helps me control my anger when dealing with people who say things seemingly just to piss me off. I'm also slightly more moderate than i used to be. I've come to realize what should have been obvious: the left can be just as abrasive and ignorant as the right.
