The only way it can stay balanced is for the conservatives to continue to take part in discussion. If they leave then we lose that good kind of tension we need to keep things interesting and that provides balance as well.

Exactly! Leaving because someone steps on your toes about your beliefs only allows them more ground to spout off. We need everyone.

If you are so right about what you believe (and I do believe you are right!), why do you feel so threatened by someone who questions what you believe? You don't know the hearts of people. For all you know, the person who is most belligerent is also the person who is most searching. You would stand in the way of that???

margie,

I don't feel threatened in any way.

Right!

Besides that, I really love, respect and appreciate many of those who are labeled "conservative". There's a comfort level that I feel with them and they continue to emphasize and remind us of things that many seem to have forgotten or want to forget.

I doubt they'd share their Koolaid with a left-winger like you.

Maybe some of the Cons aren't participating because they're sick of some of the bottom-feeder posters constantly bashing the "UPC mothership" as some have called it. It would seem that still hasn't gone out of style here on AFF.

I need to go find another "Standards" thread.

OK,

I am assuming that all questions have been asked. I am closing this thread as well as the others that have questioned admin. Any further questions need to be directed to admin via PM, and not on the forum.
