No, we have plenty of healthy debate, actually (Moreso than here thus far) I just wanted a forum where the actual owner/admin wasn't so right-wing biased that it encouraged a sort of "bandwagon" gang mentality. Here I felt I had to defend myself against a litany of brownnosers or partisan interest, where there it's been fairly even keel. Plus I needn't worry about dissuasive or snide remarks being sent via pm by him/her, as my current admins over there are more "neutral".
Good luck with McCain/Palin btw. As I just now read, it looks like they'll need it to get past their recent slump.
Oh, that's rich... Bandwagon, indeed. I would say at least 70% of the member base on this site is hard core left, with a small platoon or centrists/libertarians/whatever (like me) kicking around, and then a small base of right-wingers. One need only pop into the Election '08 thread to see the slew of people battling with Yoda to see this is true.
Brown nosers? You mean, people with opinions that don't match yours? Meanwhile, that is a passive aggressive snide remark right there, so watch where you throw those stones in your lil glass house.
Funny, I have disagreed with Yoda a ton, usually over our differences in religious views (I'm an agnostic), and the debates have always been fair and thought provoking. I can't think of two more different people on the site, actually. I am a Musician/Rave DJ/Artist with views that conflict with many of the people on this site, but I find the discussion inspiring most of the time.
Of course, the community I belong to is about radical self expression and thought, so people with vastly differing opinions are encouraged, and not shunned. I would never want to be part of a community where everyone just sat around agreeing on everything...
Just my opinion, of course.
That said, I think you should stick around, because once people got the disagreements ironed out, I think you would find lots of fun [film based] discussion going on, and I enjoyed your views on film, as they seemed well studied and perceptive.
Perhaps after the election dust settles, eh?
Here's an idea.
I occasionally see people get off on the wrong foot with people on the site, while later burying the hatchet and becoming a valuable addition to the discussions. This usually takes a fresh approach from one or more members, as well as all parties involved swallowing some pride. I have done this numerous times in the past when I have been...<gulp> wrong!!
GASP!
OK, I said it.
