I've no idea. Maybe they bore themselves as much as they bore me.

Not at all. The RWET is very active (as opposed to your LWP's 10 posts per week) and there's been no increase in RW posts on this thread at all. It's all in your mind.

Actually, activity increased after flapjack left, as a couple of libertarians and I thrashed out the difference between neoconservatism and libertarianism. Even flapjack referred to the "hundreds of posts" on the subject to wade through.......

"Why is it, do you think, that we on the left can talk productively amongst ourselves,"

When everyone agrees, it's easy to get along. As to the second part of your question, I have found exactly the opposite to be true. I have noticed there are more labeling and derogatory personal, insults coming from the "Left" leaners on this thread than the other way around, but perhaps it's a matter of perspective.
