This discussion has me torn within myself. I look at those threads 100 - 200 post long of folks going at each others throat and think to myself "no sense in jumping into that 1".

Other times I start a thread of what I consider to be valid talking points and get Zero replies. Only once have I had a thread make to the "Greatest Page" and I've been posting here since early 2003 !

I too get concepts under my skin and have a hard time letting them go for the Greater Good or for what I think is "Good Reason"

What drew me to DU was the Research of the Facts - not so much the opinions.

There was a time when folks collaborated together for the Greater knowledge of the Group. You should have been here during Collin Powell's speech to the UN in the lead up to the Iraq War - it was Debunked in REAL TIME with FACTs as fast as talking heads could spin

Those were the days when DU was alive
