I’m no JimBot, but I don’t understand your point. There is almost no discussion about Jim here — we discuss politics, current events, and what-not, but for the most part the board is pretty much NOT about the site owner.
However, while I disagree with Jim about some things, I strongly support his right to run the site however he wants. So am I a JimBot? I’m certainly one of the past Mitt supporters that is vilified, but I’ve never been banned even though I have never refrained from expressing my disagreement with whatever I disagreed with.
I’d like to think that’s because, except for specific threads where the point is to engage in personal sniping, I have always tried to express my opinion respectfully, and to present arguments rationally and with facts, while trying to answer opposing viewpoints with understanding and openness.
HOM...should take it to heart.
