   Yes, the outspoken "liberals" have driven out almost everybody who has   
   different opinions than they have. (And what "pointless arguments" are   
   you talking about?)   
      
   I stopped posting when they went beyond their everyday namecalling and   
   their personal insults to gratuitously insult my dead father. I wrote   
   a rather nasty letter in response, thought better of posting it (I   
   think correctly), and gave myself a one month time-out from the group.   
   I've returned to lurking ever since.   
      
   I read science fiction in large part because I enjoy thinking about   
   things from different perspectives and different settings. But it's   
   clear that "different" is not something that some segments of this   
   group tolerate; that's surprising.
