I've never failed to get a response from a PM, from a Mod, an Admin, or the site owner! Maybe I'm just special? Nah! My wife won't even buy that one!
Intelligent discourse is extremely hard to come by these days. The ability to express opposing points of view without demonizing your opponent is becoming a lost art, but it has a happy home at tfp. Even the most virulent tirades on our Politics board are refreshingly civil compared to talk radio or televised "chat."
Offering the population a place to be heard without the fear of being "flamed" is a great gift. Halx should be thanked and praised for his generousity and vision.
Tfp is a challenge to the online world to come forward with ideas, thoughtful arguments. It's been billed as "evolutionary," with a constuctive agenda. If the internet is ceded to the loudest, brashest and most obnoxious voices, the evolution of the human mind will cease. If you can't leave the rancor outside the site, then stay outside with it.
