There are now posters that pretty much live up there. They jump from heated discussion to the next because that is all there is there. It doesn't take long before you are basing your opinions of other posters solely on their political stances.

Now, mix the same heated discussions in with threads about sports, food, boobs, poop, what have you and you can easily be laughing with someone you were having a heated debate with moments before.

I do not believe it is the primary, let alone the sole cause, but to say that it has had no negative impact? Sorry, I don't buy it.
