I've spent a good two hours defending my beliefs and views against three or more people who disagree with me. Considering that you rightwingers are in the majority on these boards, why can't you stand the dissenting voice?
Debating ideas is not the same as stifling dissent.
Unless you're a moderator, I don't see how you could stifle dissent here.
It was the more the point of being "attacked" for having an opinion that went against the more rightwing posters. I was engaged in several debates and then saw on the deep thoughts forum an entire thread devoted to insulting me. I don't think the mods were stifling my dissent so much as Pariah and BSAMS, But I will say that despite my disagreeing with them, G-man and wannabuyamonkey acted like adults in responding to my opposing views and I respect them for that.
