This group is a moderated group and posters are free to post their opinions as long as they can word those opinions in such a way that they cannot be construed as a personal attack against a member of the site who holds the opposing belief. Your object is to talk about your work and your research, to convince not to bludgeon, to communicate not indoctrinate.

Remember that as writers you often have to change minds, so people who explain things to you who don't agree with your opinion are helping you understand the minds you have to change. Deciding the "other side is just too stupid to ever understand" dooms you to failure.

Discussion of religion is acceptable on this board if it is relevant to a political topic.

If you are a political writer, and you want to talk about the articles and books you have written, or are an activist seeking to change minds and garner support, we encourage you to post. Readers are welcome to post their thoughts and ideas as well.

Note we reserve the right to moderate and delete any and all posts, and to ban posters from future membership.
