There is some good stuff here, which is why I am still here. But if you look at the comments on certain topics you can see there are truly awful human beings here that are not being banned. That keeps it from being the best.




Note that disagreeing with your positions does not make one a truly awful human being.

If someone’s opinion is that not all human lives have equal value, then yes it does make them awful.

I happen to agree in this principle, but for most of human history it would have been considered a radical idea. Much of the world still doesn't fully buy into it. It's a philosophical position, not a universal truth. You need to persuade, not force. Banning people is not the answer, provided they are communicating in good faith.

Well, if you could complain about these commentators to the moderators.
