i see it that was as well. i'm pretty liberal, not ashamed of it, but every post i make doesn't bash republicans, as do some of our more partisan member's posts.
Quite. The tone is very combative, very oppositional. Sometimes it's very hard to keep a calm head and not allow yourself to be goaded into speaking in a way you wouldn't if you kept your cool. The atmosphere of the forum also often encourages you to propose positions more extreme that you really hold in order to make a stronger point in response to another aggressive and extreme post in the opposite direction.
I have to say I don't always manage to avoid the pitfalls, but one tries, eh?
