I wish to commend our membership for the obvious intellect we have here....you people are truly, the best.

While I agree that we are the best
, I'm not so certain that the other politics board you mentioned doesn't have the same opportunity to evolve into something more than it is now. Granted, I have only spent half a day perusing that board, but my initial impression is that it is not unlike our politics forum back in January of this year.
We received a major slap down by Hal to clean up our act (mea culpa) or lose the forum entirely. That, followed by some very assertive policing of our posts by the moderators, with a banning or two drove home the point. I think that one of the differences in the two boards is the investment our mods make in keeping things civil. There is behavior on the part of posters at the other board that would never be tolerated here.
My 2 cents.
