Personally I think the idea is good, as all too often political threads get "hijacked" as someone before me put it. However I do think it is possible to have a political discussion between like-minded individuals despite some of the hijacking that occurs.
But the problem is, and we all know it, that opposing views incites anger and/heated debate and can take away from the actual discussion as people go round and round trying to back up their claims or hold their ground.
As much as I'd like to see a forum devoted just for liberals and people that think like I do, I know I can find that elsewhere on the net. I don't post here much, but most of my posts are in this forum - I love reading the discussions, and I love reading the debates - even if I don't agree. What I don't like is the bashing and since I tend to lean a little more to the left, when I see posts that say "And all those liberals (insert condescending or tongue in cheek statement here)" the thread immediately screams: "Let's start a pissing contest" To be fair, I think the same can be said for any conservative who feels lashed out against when there's a post that appears condescending to their views.
But I don't think having two more seperate forums will solve the problem of having certain threads hijacked. If anything, it will start a forum war. I can see it now. The liberal forum has a thread titled "Take a look at Lemonite's post in the Conservative Forum" and the replies, though in accord, could turn into a conservative bashing session. And vice versa.
I really don't frequent that many online forums, mainly because I don't have the time. What I like about Interference in general is that if I want to read a political discussion or debate, I can come here and see it in action. I don't like the arguments and I don't derive a sick pleasure seeing people duke it out here, but it's the nature of this forum. Personally I don't get involved in discussions as much as I'd like to, and I admit sometimes some comments get me bent out of shape, and sometimes I feel too intimidated to join in because I'm the nonconfrontational type.
If anything, this forum has taught me a lot about how people with opposing views interact. It gets heated and ugly a good portion of the time, but the resolve is usually peaceful and in the end everyone agrees to disagree.
So to conclude this mess I just wrote, I think the 'two more forums' idea is a good one, but I don't think it's necessary. I think if the person who starts the thread requests the thread is for like minded discussion, then we should all be mature enough to honor those requests.
