I think what winds up happening most times is that you have a large number of asshats that can't disagree with a differing opinion without resulting to insults, so the decent conversation gets derailed when the first insults are thrown out.
I've had really great conversations with center / left people there before. You could have great discussions, just have to weed out the troublemakers. It would be really nice if you could control the threads you create (blocking posters from them, deleting posts, etc). I know that would kill traffic, but it would certainly improve discourse.
CFBR, you do try to have good discussions and I appreciate that.
You know, I do occasionally spout off wise arse remarks or post something that is a little provocative, but that's primarily because of the overwhelming sentiment and constant drumbeat on the board. But there are some conservative posters I truly respect and with whom I would love to have more reasoned discussions.

If you would be interested, I'm going to start utilizing my blog again on the Poli-board. I've been looking for a specific way to structure it so that it was most beneficial to fostering discussion. How about a point / counterpoint angle? You and I pick a topic, set a word limit, and submit it to the board where the initial arguments are made cohesively and at once? I would never edit what you wrote and we could work together to change as necessary.
You have been an excellent contributor to the board, I think it could be a good little thing to do, even if only for a brief time.
