I cannot speak for anyone else, but my reason for not even requesting permission to enter your debate club, was because it was clear early on in this thread that the forum would be used primarily by a select few people to stroke their egos.
And from what I've seen looking at the threads there, I made the correct decision. You in particular have been on an extended ego trip ever since being granted moderator rights, you immediately began being more verbally aggressive in your posts.
And the fucking hypocrisy, it's pretty damn amazing! Bottom line is, you don't get to make that post you did, then later on respond to another person with "Not sure what it is you expected this place to be, but it's not really well-suited to people who aren't able or willing to explain their viewpoints."
Please, do us all a favor and just admit there is a list of people you do not respect and do not want being a part of this site. It's perfectly clear to everyone, why put on a song and dance projecting a message that it's all about following rules?
Have fun continuing stroking your ego This is an internet forum that really has little to no impact on anyone after they close their web browser.

Ironically, I think the fact that so many conservatives are so thin-skinned about that thread makes them look far worse than the thread itself did.
It was implied in that discussion that I was biased, for no other reason than my refusal to shut it down. Also ironic.
IMO, this is all a rather vivid illustration that much of the protestation about "liberal bias" and the desire for many conservatives to have their own information sources that they can shape in their own image -- even going so far to creating their own wikipedia that they can slant in their direction -- is really just an inability to look at themselves with anything approaching objectivity.
And I also think that's a primary reason so many of the far right-wingers won't even step foot in here.
