I just popped over to the Political Forum. It seems no worse than many online political boards. I see no point in discussing politics online or for that matter even in person. You never really change the other person's deeply held beliefs.
But if you choose to join in political discussions you need to grow a thicker hide.
Tal seems to garner a bit of ridicule in many of his posts..whether political or not. It seems posters have tired of his redundant recitation of his life experiences and discussions of his life long project. I've never met a Legal Librarian who isn't a bit "quirky". Nothing wrong with his quirkiness but I'm sure he gets under some people's skin and they are going to lash out.
As I said before....if you want to discuss hot button issues, don't complain when it gets into a gutter fight.
