I disagree. We have had quite a few wingnuts of various extractions (including left) who have spouted nonsense and have been laughed off the boards. You haven't been here long enough to draw such broad generalizations.
I would suggest that you consider the possibility that your personal views are biasing your conclusion.
I will take your word for it that left-leaning posters have been challenged before, but I've seen quite enough to conclude that this is obviously a very rare occurance.
Please don't misinterpret my comments regarding the fact that conservatives are a minority here. (at least among the vocal members of the site) They are not meant as any kind of excuse. It's a statement of fact. When I post a conservative viewpoint, I am confronted by numerous others at once Each of them has one post to challenge while I have all of them to answer. I don't mind, but it's time consuming and that's time I'm not willing to devote right now. (wife, kids, job, 3 hour commute, etc.) You can look at that as an excuse if you want.
I will continue to express my views as I have time. I welcome the opportunity to discuss politics (and many other issues) with those willing to share their own ideas in a civil manner. I look forward to participating in such a discussioni with you in the future.
