Dragonfire - I’ve had the same thought you did, that what has changed is the domestic and political landscape, not so much LGF. I tried to convince a few people of that, but alas, had little luck. What has changed is the type of folks who post here now, who I find to be much more left-leaning than the previous crop. Not sure what that says about my continuing presence here or exactly where I fit in, but that’s not really important. I do agree with RememberTonyC:

re: #2 _RememberTonyC

What is cool about LGF is that there is room for all reasonable views. While Charles has focused his posts on mostly domestic political issues, he has created the LGF pages on the right side (coincidence?) of the screen where there are a variety of political views that are put into play by the posters. So if one of Charles’ threads doesn’t interest me, I just start my own. A sane, democratic forum fo all.
