Finally Eric, this is LONG, LONG, LONG overdue!!

as stated previously(and since you know me)I'm a registered independant when it comes to political affiliation,(and I always have been!)

when you first spoke about opening the Political Groove Website and inviting me to be a part of it, I was excited to see what would become of your creating a political site
(because I know other sites you have created and the majority of members at those sites were very objective, critical thinkers, treat members with respect without personal attacks and are generally good people) and all those members either lean to the left, right, or are independant

so I thought it would be interesting to see the threads posted at PG.

for instance the conspiracy forum is fascinating, I may not agree with the majority of what they say in their threads, but I still respect their opinion and their desire to share what they think is important for others to know, and mostly for me it's an interesting read

as I became more familiar with PG, unfortunately it quickly became apparent that a LARGE majority of the people invited to be members of this website are extreme in their views, and have agenda's, values, and beliefs far to the left of any independant thinker

not that the fact that someone leans to the left or right really matters to me, nor should it,

but IMHO members being extreme in their views is not a positive characteristic, and the way they treat other members reflects their extremism

obviously not everyone is going to agree with each other, but at least at your other sites there is certain necessary amount of respect that is demonstrated by each member

I RARELY see that here at the PG website !!

many members here do not show respect for other peoples views and consequently they choose to instead do personal attacks on people who don't agree with their agenda &/or opinions and many times their choice to do this is malicious and hateful

this became objectively obvious when your conservative forum was consistently abused with numerous threads attacking conservatives,

HA HA in a conservative forum,

so in a conservative forum where presumably conservatives should have an opportunity to voice their opinions, instead you have a bunch of far left extreme members posting conservative attacks and their far left agenda instead

many of the threads posted in the conservative forum, were a vehicle to attack conservatives and their views

why permit numerous members here to do personal attacks on other members?
Why is that condoned?

I'm glad Eric that your "trying" to give conservatives an opportunity and a venue to voice their opinions, values, etc

I have the opinion it may be too late though, because many of them have endured many personal attacks, and likely feel like they don't get a fair opportunity to express themselves,

so consequently they have chosen to leave the PG website

based on what I've objectively witnessed, I don't blame them, and I'm not surprised by them leaving

thanks for the effort though!
