I'm finding the other board annoying, given there's at least one moderator who prefers personal attacks to discussion.
Possibly more than one. Admittedly I'm a little more attuned to it coming from the left.

Nope, not here at all
I think it is good to have moderators from multiple points of view. It helps remove the blinders a bit but I understand the frustration.
If someone makes a good argument with supporting links, I don't have a problem with it even it I disagree with the viewpoint. Likewise, I don't have a problem with opposing opinions as long as it isn't his/her life mission to make it the view of everyone else.

I'm not even concerned with people who want to try to change your point of view. My issue is when you've got someone who just shows up and says "you're extremely deranged" without saying anything else. It wouldn't even bother me if an effort was made to explain why she thinks that. But with her, it's all ad hominem and nothing else. And this is a moderator. If you can't go beyond name calling you don't belong in a debate forum. You're not adding anything, you're just adding to the animosity.

The moderator that you're referrring to has quit the board, and I can't blame her. The other three main mods are hopelessly biased and piss poor moderators. At the rate that they're going, the board will deservedly swirl down the plughole.

It's simple enough to ignore posters if it comes to that, but when moderators tell you whom you may reply to/support etc, then there's a problem.

I'm finding the other board annoying, given there's at least one moderator who prefers personal attacks to discussion. Possibly more than one. Admittedly I'm a little more attuned to it coming from the left. Middle of The Right is quite the opposite. Ill be banned soon for telling them to get rid of all of the Gene/Jean/SushiLover/Jeebus clones
