re: #327 Sol Berdinowitz

One of the reasons I stuck with LGF even back when it was a lot more conservative was that it was generally civil and decent. And even most of the conservative arguments were well argued.

But that brand of conservatism all but disappeared by 2008 and has been replaced by knee-jerk anti-Obamism in all its ugliest forms.

I joined way back before registration, and am part of the original class of registrants (class of 2004), most of which have since washed out for going off the deep end with either ODS, birtherism, racism/xenophobia, or combination of all the above. I’ve stuck around because Charles has remained true to his principles and hasn’t backed down all while not tolerating craziness in the comments. That’s most respectable in my opinion.
