a strictly nonpartisan arena

Do you mean, an arena for those who are non-partisan? Actually I think that many who are such might be so because they just do not care... I'm not sure many people with no strong feelings about politics would even bother to read (still less post on) a political thread.

For me, I got tired of the same repetitions of the same insults by people whose mindset seems to me impenetrable by reality - some (not just here but IRL) seem to hold views not merely despite the facts but in defiance of them... I find these people very, very boring to debate with, because they never concede, accept, understand or change.

Far more of these are on the right than the left, I guess because outside the brainwashed of North Korea the communist/socialist viewpoint has been basically defeated as unsuitable for real humans, whereas the dogmas of the RW have yet to be proven quite so fallacious...
