There are about 10 regulars here (really more like 5-6), most of which happen to be conservative. Also, this board as a whole skews conservative, so there’s that.

A weird (fun?) consequence of rice one day getting better at sports would probably be more voices debating in the quad.

There used to be at least four other liberals here, but one by one they have decided that temperature in the kitchen was not agreeable to them.

It's really something that OO has convinced himself that it was the rapier-like debate skills and irrefutable logic of the right wingers that sent those lefties packing. I wonder if he is open to the possibility that they simply decided that the overall tone of this place is unreasonably toxic and that there were better uses of their time?

Two of the group mentioned by OO said (paraphrase here of course) 'I cannot bother myself to debate you here'. One of those said he would prefer not to talk to anyone that supported Trump in any way, iirc.

One just the other day one predicated his (I assume male, for no particular reason) (second) departure of theirs on the fact of the extent and impact of the 'insurrection' and how he was horrified at some would even argue about the use of that word or how there could be much of any justification (I presume for all of the 20k or so protesters, since that wasnt delineated in his(?) (2nd) good by message.

One was banned for his drive-by mannerisms.

How does that lineup jive with your indictment above, my good sir?

I didn't indict anybody. I just commented that there were a other possible reasons that people might leave here beyond having to run away from untenable positions.

There have been regular leftist posters who don't post any more (or rarely do so) who don't seem to fit your examples. Mrbig comes to mind.
