I dont think anyone who comes in here and participates in a discusison has actually changed their mind or their opinion on any issue. Thats not the nature of politics. But it does allow you access to another viewpoint and some more facts, whether you like them or not. Without some sort of rivalry between opposing viewpoints, we would not get all the sides or strong evidence in a situation. The competition forces all views to present their best evidence and operate at their peak.
Have you ever been a serious political discussion that hasn't been heated? I say let it be. Nobody here holds their opinions against another member outside of their thread. Take WhoaitZ above this post (you just happened to post, so your name came to mind, tahts all...). I dont agree with most of his viewpoints i have noticed. But i dont come in hear swearing and flaming because i hate him. This is a place for serious members to come here and learn (maybe even laugh), not to all come together and be one happy unopinionated family. If you cant hack it here, then dont post. Unless it was clearly a one sided board, any political discussion should, and will, bring along pressure and intensity. While some posts get out of control, the moderating currently being done is definately sufficient to allow those who are willing to be able to post in comfort. Anyone who ventures in a political section should expect to be required to defend his/her position in my opinion.
