Take a look at some of the initial posts and then see where the "discussion" has evolved, usually by page 2.

I don't think many posters believe that they'll change anyone's mind here. But I for one maintain some faint hope that issues can be discussed and people with differing opinions can understand how others think about things.

But like I said, it's only a faint hope.
I know what you mean Kahuna. It's kind of like yesterday when I voiced my opinion on the Limbaugh controversy, and you commented that my defense of Limbaugh reflected rather poorly on me, and how I should be concerned how others would view me if I continued to defend a man who you said was some kind of deviant, or some other term.

It was a post totally directed to malign me personally, instead of just addressing the topic, or the thread itself.

Is that what you're talking about? If it is, I have to agree whole heartedly.
