That's a shame. I wish more people would.Originally Posted by SteveinMN
I think ideology does make itself known there, but is that a bad thing? Being exposed to different points of view shouldn't be threatening, although I can see where it might be upsetting to some.And this is exactly why. The Public Policy forum here (on most any site, really) seems to be where reality goes to die. Ideology holds absolute sway over real life.
In theory, that particular forum should act as a receptacle for political and/or social ideologies, keeping them out of the other forums. Unfortunately, that doesn't always work. Just like all other communities, there's always someone who feels free to interject their thoughts on "right wingers", "those tea party folk" and their "penis-mobiles", etc., into any discussion, while simultaneously lamenting the very existence of the forum designed to house those areas of discussion.
I'd like to think it's just a blind spot.
