In reply to the discussion: So this is what Skinner wants? [View all]Old and In the Way
(37,540 posts)When they first started arriving on the board, I think they thought they were going to steamroll the site with their fact-free insults and ungrounded political opinions. That has really not been the case...some of these people are looking really stupid and are finding that our side is more than capable of addressing their RW talking points and exposing the logical fallicies and bigoted assumptions that buttress them.
So far, I think the jury outcomes have become remarkably fair. However, if they do reach a significant plurality, we will probably see RW biases beginning to impact the boards intent as a place where people of all political stripes can discussion issues civilly. I truly think that most conservatives are wedded to their ideology to a far greater degree than libs/progs. That distinction will play out by voting for their team poster or penalizing our team poster simply based on their team identification. Time will tell.
