Here, I feel like I ave to walk on eggshells because some of my rather militant far-left positions can get me in trouble with a few of the cliques here...and I'm also a gun owner (i.e., a pariah to some). Less fear of witch hunts on DI...

And yes, I've had good conversations with conservatives there. Some of them are cartoonish trolls, to be sure...but many aren't. Some that can be trolls will engage rationally if you make the first overture (like Konservative). DI sucks sometimes...but I'm not sure it ever sucks as much as DG .
