This is really I think the largest problem. I can look at a thread title, and I don't need to read the posts for content, I can read the names and know with about 85% accuracy what everyone will say. For awhile I assumed that people genuinely would read and try to understand other views, and maybe even change their own. I was proven wrong, again and again. And after checking the board out again, it seems that it has greatly slowed down, with most of the threads being made by one or two people. Also, it seems any non-"liberal" point of view has been driven away almost entirely.
