Back in the day, that was a true strength of this board. It boasted several Center-Left and Left thinkers, including SK, afx, Gandalf and arraya, all of whom were articulate, thoughtful, and prepared posters. No ad hom, no trash talking and none of the fact-free posturing that came to dominate the site. That was when I called it a day. If I want stupidity, I can find it locally.
