No. What may in fact be detrimental is this notion of debate that flies here. The majority of the good people on TFP - with their own views on politics - do not venture into this forum and the overwhelming reason they give is the endless and partisan argumentation and "debate" that goes on here is not a sensible, appealing, or attractive thing. This forum is therefore used by a very few of the same people - mostly those who enjoy a very specific and particular kind of point-counterpoint, attack/defend strategy that is not unlike that exhibited by obsessive video-game players.
Because you do not care to address an issue in the manner in which I frame it and because I have no interest in argumentation over points that do not address the basic human level on which I believe this issue exists does not mean that a thread like this has no value.
Many good people who used to post here frequently have stopped doing so for the reasons I stated above. Several times in the past I've addressed this and have started threads that were explicitly designed to elicit non-typical responses.
I'll continue addressing things from the perspective of a concerned citizen who has specific interests in framing political issues in a particular way. We'll see how things develop.
