Sure sounded like you were expressing that the board was a joke as a result of comments about liberals that you have read. I no longer like the sports section of the NY post since their damn news section contains crap I don't want to read.
and there are quite a few intelligent posters, including some who are biased towards a certain side of the political spectrum, and I certainly believe that everyone is entitled to post, but the quality of the entire forum declines when the majority of threads are "Why do liberals hate..." and "Ask the Dems" strawman arguments.

The top 5 threads in this forum are essentially complaints about liberals (and, let's not forget, the "liberal media").
If whining about liberals is a "good" message board, then count me out.
I don't have the time but there are hundreds of posts here from liberals who come screeching in here to vent their life frustrations on George Bush. If this is typical complaining of a liberal, then count me out of their threads too.
Quite a few, actually. This thread aside, I've pretty much stopped posting here, save one or two threads in the WOT forum and one or two threads in the Economy forum.
Honestly, I don't even remember you, so I'll take your word for it. So you found places you like better, only like a couple of forums here, then come to one you don't use to post complaints? May I ask why you felt the need to do so? Maybe a parting shot on your way out?
So, yes, I do have better places to spend my time, and I've been coming here a lot less lately than I used to (ask any of your regulars who've engaged in discussion with me, and they'll attest to that).
That's your perogative, and I can only speak for myself when I say you won't be missed.
Again, if your idea of a good discussion board is to simply whine about how liberals are ruining America, then mission accomplished. If people are looking for an intelligent discussion, they'd probably be better off looking elsewhere.
If you think it's nothing but whining about liberals here then you seriously have a comprehension issue. Sure, there are wacky complaints about both parties but to say that's what the board is made up of is ridiculous.
Either way, daily posts are at their highest, unique visitors at their highest and the participation was only stronger just prior to the election. Many before you have claimed this board was crap and 3 years later it continues to be a success. Complain of the intelligence but I find MANY posters here to be extremely educated and worthy of some of the best debates I have ever come across.
