Some have left in the past and I don't know why and I don't care.  This is a sub forum of a sports board ran by fans of a team.  The mods have attempted to make this as "safe" a place as possible and if you can't handle it that is on the individual.  If they felt unwelcome because there were challenges to what they posted and "ran off" so be it.  Why would that even be an issue?  Who is keeping track of the balance of the posters vs the political spectrum?  Just be here for the discussions, and maybe to learn something, and move along.  If someone is letting anything here bother them beyond that they need to log off for awhile.

And that goes back to the topic of the thread:  This subject here can be volatile.  That's not for everyone.  Disagreements are frequent both because of the political lean of the posters and the loss of inflection with the written word vs actual talking.  Idea and points are easily misconstrued as easily as they are deliberately misrepresented.

Edit to add:  Then they play the victim card and/or claim they "won" because people won't argue anymore.  Grade school stuff.

For example when one poster's response to one statement is quoted to try and make them look like they were responding to a different statement.

Bad form and childish.
