I think it is important to recognize that separation by political views on the Internet should not be that meaningful. I don't reject anyone in real life because of their political views. Ever. If they're stupid I don't tell them. If they're idiots, they will not be so-informed by me.

One of my best friends is an extreme liberal, worse than many on this thread, we argue on Facebook all the time over politics, but at the end of the day, it isn't the basis for our friendship. If I met Chris on the street, even Tejek, I would not hold their respective idiocies against them in any way. I would just overlook it.

I don't believe it is healthy for those of us who are more intelligent than the others to be separated from them. How can they ever learn if we, those who are not idiots, will not allow them to benefit from our vast knowledge and experience?
