Actually, I'm thinking of leaving myself, but for other reasons.
The inmates have taken over the asylum. I shoulda seen it coming, but I thought the "I hate Bush. Impeach him because he's evil" crowd would be lassoed in.
Alas, they are getting stronger and more virulent, and if possible, even more pervasive.
The only thing I can do is pray for this forum, because if it folds because it is out of control due to being taken over by maniacs, it will be a severe loss for the cause of conservatism.
As it stands, this forum looks like it's run by loud mouthed, hate filled lunatics, and civil discourse here seems to be coming to an end.
Maybe it's time for a LOT of us to go.

I've been having the same feelings. There have been so many really awful people come on here in the last couple of years. It's gotten so vitriolic and contentious. And most of this is caused by n00Bs.
It's sad, isn't it?
Don't abandon me now!
First time I read this I thought you typed "persuasive" instead of "pervasive". I nearly choked. But I couldn't agree with you more. And as Allegra said, most are noobs. Interestingly, a lot seemed to have signed up right after Bush won the last election. This kind of thing has happened before. Eventually, the ring leaders get shown the door and the rest of the sheep follow. Then they rant and rave on some alternative website about how bad this place is. Meanwhile, the core remain. And the foundation of the site grows even stronger. JimRob is a good man who knows his business. I'll be here for a long time after the last "hate filled lunatic" is gone.
