if it wasn't for left_the_right and other liberals that can be counted on one hand it seems like a completely dominated freeper site. it's really quite embarrasing. that small handful can still bat around the conservative's arguments because the conservatives there just have no capacity for real intellectual discussion. not as bad as freeper-ville, but needlessly flooded by their filibuster.

in my take it's not fun to deal with that. it's just a waste of time. there's not enough facts and real debate being encouraged, i was turned off quite rapidly. i have no desire beating back streams of nonsense and standing tall among the critically thinking challenged. it's boring.

ground rules aren't a bad thing, i suggest a few to elevate the level of conversation. and banning isn't inherently evil. be judicious in its use, but don't ever shelve the option into de facto nonexistence.
