    Intolerance at websites.

    I have new respect for Apolyton because it is one of the few locations where people can intelligently debate most issues without things degenerating into outright flamefests and name calling. Everyone knows about far right wing sites which spout ignorance and attempt to silence debate but I'm surprised at the large number of suposedly enlightened leftist websites which are equally intolerate. Mention that you're an Iraq war vet at these sites and you get called a baby killer and a militarist before people even find out what you did or what you political positions are. Heaven help you if you disagree with any of their dogma no matter how well reasoned or presented your case may be.

    It's to bad because many of these people seem like intelligent well informed people but they seem to have thin skins which just won't tolerate any questioning or honest debate about their sacred cows. Sad really.

    I just wanted to give poly a shout out for being better then these other places.

        You can't really have a discussion about this stuff in real life because it just turns into who can shout the loudest.

            I imagine he liked his performance at the US Senate last month.

                  Yes, it was much better than Rumsfeld's.

                    Another good place is Straight Dope Message Board, though some areas and threads can get quite nasty.

                        It's true. Many places are also a lot crueler to newbies than than we are.

                          Not always. I find the opposite just as likely, cuz it's a lot harder to scream in someone's face than it is to hit the cap key.

                            Which is saying something.

                              Hate to tell you this, but there IS name calling here on Apolyton.
