I'm perfectly capable of researching conservative right wing view points, there is no shortage resources out there. Nor is there a shortage of liberal counterpoints. Linking page after page of talking points isn't a discussion, I can find them just fine on my own.
What's missing is any discussion or compromise.
I sometimes look at new topics to look for something new. I rarely read past the first page before I go off and research it on my own.

How would you describe these links, listed in these search results:
http://www.google.com/search?q=host+...e=off&filter=0
....are they liberal links, or conservative links?
How is what you're saying, any different than filtherton's example. We can "discuss" over the phone, or over a cup of coffee. This is a recent format, in a recent media. Over and over, there are arguments against using it for what it does best. It permits detailed presentations.
The "details" raise the bar. You want to lower the bar, even if you do not mean to. "Compromise" is a process. IMO, the size of presentations to support a position, do not affect that process. It is the quality of the presentation. The more detail in a presentation, the more there is to criticize, to obtain examples for a counter argument.
We have "Mcnews"...USA Today, for example. We have "sound bites", broadcast on the local and national, half hour evening news segments.
Here we have the ability to present/share detail. It is searchable, afterwards, via "the google". if it is all DISPLAYED. If you don't use that feature as a resource, in combination with your recoverable posting history here, than it is not something you would need or appreciate.
Please leave the forum alone. If you don't want to someone else's post, don't read it. Stop attempting to eliminate features and resources that have become available via the development of the internet, just because you don't use them and don't value them.
