Having fun. I originally started because I wanted to inject some sense into these people. I got banned once because I refused to lie, and let myself go overboard about the Iraq war.

Now I admit that I am there under false pretenses. You have to be a progressive before you are "welcome" there. The same thing as here, but in reverse.

But I don't flatter them, falsely or otherwise. In fact, I have all but called them idiots and bigots. But not directly. I attack their positions, and if it is, say, anti-white, anti-Western, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, anti-Southern, etc., I call it bigotry. But no personal attacks. Very long time posters who actually are liberal have been banned when they got into flame wars.

Then there is the Lounge. These people can be quite reasonable, so long as politics is not at issue. I've got nothing else I'd rather do late at night before I go to bed, so I read and post here, and at DU. More posting there than here, of course, because I like to argue. I don't actually have much that I disagree with here, although sometimes in the Religion forum I see a few things.

Finally, I forgot rule #1 Be civil. I don't consider it toadyism if I treat them with respect as human beings even if I loathe everything they stand for.

But, hey, why are you worried about it, anyway. It's simply a matter of taste.
