re: #546 Buck

You didn’t make it comfortable for them here. AND we didn’t make them feel comfortable here.

That is my memory of those years. I don’t care what you, or your new friends say.

You’re wrong.

Regardless of the current LGF political bend, the site has evolved for the better.

Yes, there are commenters who believe disagreement alone is cause for ostracism or ad hominem attacks- but this is more reflective of the commenter than the site or CJ.

Nevertheless, LGF is and remains one of the better political opinion sites.

I put up a wide variety of links every day that are both laudatory and critical of both sides of the spectrum. No one has ever suggested my links reflect any kind of ‘party line’. The vast majority of my exchanges here are civil and cogent- despite my own decidedly right of center bend.

LGF is not a news site. LGF does not have to be balanced. LGF can be anything CJ wants it to be. There are lots of things here I disagree with. So what? I don’t need to be preached to by a choir. I’d rather be in an environment which challenges my beliefs and assumptions. There are matters I have changed my mind on and others that have only strengthened my beliefs as a result of my discussions here.

Do you want to be right in your beliefs or do you want everyone else to agree with you?

There is a difference.
