I think that for those of us who enjoy discussing politics, sometimes cyberland brings out the worst in all of us.
Oh, I know, and I am no exception.

I was more thinking along the lines of why everyone posting on the political threads seems to be far left liberal or far right conservative....not many middle of the road posters. (I call you and bearcat middle of the road, BTW. )

but I suppose the other moderates either don't post as much or got sick of it and left...like Sctx.

I believe I discussed my metamorphosis from fairly center to more conservative in some older posts......

The right/ left wing people are entitled to their opinions. I often don't want to read ranting about urban myths, based on internet lies. I've recently told several people to stop sending me email on anything political for just that reason. The internet has made it really easy to cut and paste nonsense, and then spam it to everyone.

I have changed my views as the result of discussion, and hope to remain open minded enough to continue to do so. But via the internet - not so much.

I consider myself still center liberal.
