My first post here was http://www.defendingthetruth.com/vie...highlight=#869 , in which I summed up everything I hate about the ultra polarized political climate, and people's unwillingness to get along. When I read these forums now, I'm just seeing a lot of the same.

Maybe I just need a break, I'm going on vacation next week, and I'll be gone for about 2 weeks. I may feel differently when I return.

My highest congtatulations to Jon, you've created a world class site, that has provided countless hours of entertainment. Keep up the good work, but for the sake of others that may be starting to feel the same way as me, you should crack down harder on knuckleheadery. (yes, I just made that word up)

Signing off,
CP

I hope you return. It was good having you on the board. Sorry if I added to any of the knuckleheadery.
I suspect we all did. He's very strict...

I sure do hope you will return. I was very pleased with your posts and you were a great addition to this site. I know some debates can get out of hand but I guess some go that way..I see it all the time on TV and it is indeed very frustrating. If you feel that you should not get involved in the debates, feel free to chat with us about sports, humor, stuff like that.

Hope to see ya buddy.
Enjoy the vacation!

Peace.

Thats terrible. I am actually sad to see him go and I don't believe that we have ever agreed on one topic.

Dude, I am fucking with him. We work together. He does usually agree with himself. He's very very straight arrow. Believe me on this. His constant attention to the rules is disgusting.

He does, we were just discussing this about an hour ago. He said that it may very well just turn out to be a haitus. He needs a break. I assured him that we have been having some excellent debates as of late.

I'm back, mainly because I need an outlet, and a lot of time I obtain a clearer understanding of what I actually feel when I write my thoughts down. I have had opinions changed by discussions here. I think that one of the most interesting things about this site is the diversity (although, most times it's just polarity) of the opinions, all held by reasonably intelligent people. The thought that two people of similar intellect and upbringing could hold the exact opposite and unyielding opinion about every subject amazes me.

If I were to give advice, which I suppose I am doing right now, I would say this:

Don't debate to understand your opposition, debate to understand why you oppose them.
