This must be a liberal crowd.
I've always thought of "free thoughts" as more of a right brained concept as opposed to 'liberal'. Liberal is to say that people are open to a wide range of ideas, but I've noticed that people here tend to pick things apart (characteristic of rational-analytical thinking) so they aren't neccesarily liberal.
--Which actually makes me wonder about something----- I've chatted at a lot of places, and I've noticed that the 'general chat' forums tends to move alot faster than ther other forums that are dedicated to a specific subject.
An example-- let's say it's an automotive forum with sub-categories for different makes/models of cars, and one forum labelled "click here to shoot the breeze". All of the topic-constrained forums would have a few bits of traffic here and there, and the 'shoot the breeze' forum would overtake them all.
Here is a couple of rough guesstimates as to what could be happening:
1. The majority is right brained because they tend to generate a large number of un-constrained topics.
2. A few right brainers create a large number of unconstrained topics, and the majority left brainers habitually pick them apart creating the majority of traffic.
Of course, I'm probably missing something here.
