Lol, and here we are back to Square One!
Therein lies the dilemma........perception is greater than reality, and it's impossible to change one's perception.
I'll discuss issues for hours on end, but when I see that someone's mind is made up, and they have their own perception, I generally back out of the conversation, because from that point on, the only thing left is to beat a dead horse.

Well, there probably is a bit of truth on both sides of the fence, but again we are discussing "why Conservatives have left" therefore I gave my opinion on it.

Duly noted, as did I, lol.
I'm sure there is truth to what Mark posted, but again, I think there are so many other reasons.

Re: The REAL Reason CONS have left or rarely post
~ ~ ~ A MESSAGE TO THE CONS ~ ~ ~
You've complained that AFF is causing people to backslid
and turn their backs on the teachings but you are not willing
to stick around and provide the balance that may keep some
people from being fully swayed?? You don't think there are
people here worth staying for? There are many pastors who
may thank you one day. You may never know the influence
you had or befriending someone has done.
That alone should be a reason to come back or stick around

I wouldn't even begin to speculate, Mark, because I really have no clue.
I just feel very strongly that there is definitely more than ONE reason, as some may imply.
I also think that there is a certain satisfaction in "conquering" a forum, or a church, or a group, and converting them to your way of thinking.
I know when I pastored, things were always much more harmonious when the entire church agreed with me! Which was rare, but they were wonderful moments!
I grew more thru the adversity, but didn't like it, at all.
So, maybe some of the Cons got tired of the adversity, and having things questioned, and decided to head to more harmonious pastures.
I don't know, that's all the speculating I'll do..........even though I said I wouldn't, lol.

That is probably true & without hearing from those that left directly, we are just speculating.
