I can tell you why I stopped posting and why I now only check here if I am looking for something. Others will have to answer for themselves.

Number 1 reason is it has become a political rag dominated by a few who use it to push their point of view on others. It would be OK if that stayed just in the "political" thread so I could avoid it, but it spills over into so MANY others. Go check the statistics and look at the number of posts in political. Then go read a few others, the one on health care was in general discussion and a good example. There is actually a little more political discussion in other categories than in the designated one. Than notice that over 80% of those posts are by 4 or 5 individuals. When any media reaches a point where 25% to 30% of its content falls in that type bucket I stop supporting it.

I canceled my subscription to the Washington Post for the same reason. Sometimes I use it for the sports page or classifieds, but they lost my business because I refuse to support any forum that follows that trend and becomes so politically biased.

I am sure many will disagree and take issue with this view, and that is certainly their right, just as it is mine to stay away.

I hope this answers your question and I am probably the only one who left for this reason.
