On the contrary, jbe - This site doesn't qualify as depressing; One has to have an interchange of ideas against which to measure the validity of personal thought.
The compendium of opinion in the traditional media is tiresome and all too predictable. Here, I find among the hyperbole and self-indugent rock throwing, some intelligence, lots of belligerence, tons of ignorance as well as enlightenment on some subjects.
The sheer stimulation is hardly depressing, although the level to which I see some have allowed themselves to be mislead is, albeit only temporarily, depressing.
You, on the other hand, have been due cause for me to reconsider my own positions on a number of occasions. Those moments, minutes, even hours of review of one's level of reason on any topic are valuable.
Then there's bateman. Now that, you must admit, has to be categorized as amusing. <vbg>
