Frankly I was around Politics when there was a very loud conservative faction - a faction which got away with flamebait and bullshit on a routine basis while those of us on the left were slapped back when we'd respond. I think it's rather nice that issues can now be discussed without the left being baselessly accused of being unpatriotic, etc.

Really? Are you serious?
The reason I stopped posting is because everytime I did I was declared Racist, Imperialist, Ignorant, Ultra-Religious (trying to bring on the Apocolypse), and hundreds of other things hurled left and right. Though because they described it as "the right" it was not an insult and nothing was done.
Now there are conservative posters here that did flame, the last month of Ustwo's posts here I agree were pretty unacceptable. But to play the "pity us" card is equally unacceptable.
