Seriously though, my hometown paper has the same kind of forum for all the locals. It brings out some of the most stupid comments you have ever heard. It’s the local idiots who probably don’t have a job and evenetually resort to name calling.

There's some of that going on, but we do have quite a few people who post, both liberal and conservative, who are quite intelligent and astute debaters.

Come and join us, fellow Freepers! I believe I'm the only Freeper who posts there, contrary to what the rochesterturning.com folks believe. You should really give them reason to believe there's more of us! :-)

Good luck to you! I hope you do well with the hometown libs. I enjoy being on the forums, but I don’t enjoy arguing. I guess debating was never a strong skill for me.
