I have seen the various personal attacks, but I am loathe to get involved because the line between unreasonable attacks and legitimate questions on bias is often uncertain. Of course, some of the attacks back and forth were more rabid than necessary, but I still think that airing out animus is better than the alternative.

I agree that we need more topics and more members and we should all try to start different topics and we should all try to get our friends to join. I have literally spent hours trying to find the regulars from SR and I have asked my friends to join and participate. Everyone here who wants more diversity of opinion (which we all do) should do the same.

I think this forum can become as good as the one on SR, but it will take all of us to make it that way.
