Guilty
I think people post ideological/philosophical questions in PPOT in the hope a civil discourse can ensue without reducing it to politically oriented/polarized diatribes.
For example there have been some good threads on health care issues or gun control or law enforcememnt or immigration we face as a society as a whole that were not (immediately
) reduced to labeling posters as ******* or neocons or whatever that goes on over in PARF.
Besides there are only about 15 regular posters over there and it often just becomes a circle jerk espousing their particular brand of KoolAid be it either extreme. In PPOT there are usually 200+ viewers at any given time. I've learned a lot given sane dialogues.
