I'm enjoying Discussionist

but can it survive?

1. Conservatives are running away from their own threads

It is amusing to see the conservatives run away from facts

2. Me too. Why wouldn't it survive? Seems to be doing fine so far. Far less contentious than

I expected. And the jury system has made people realize it isn't going to be a free-for-all.

After the initial few who thought they could get away with some of that old right wing gibberish we are so bored with, having their posts hidden, everyone seems to be making an effort to say what they have to say more civilly.

4. You're right

and I think some conservatives may be getting it, but a couple of yesterday's posts were certainly living up to the racist/batshit stereotype. Happy you're over there making sense and spreading sanity

3. "You must wait five minutes between posts."

I've been enjoying it, too...but the above will probably be a deal-breaker. I understand the anti-spam intent...but a lot of conversations on message forums move a LOT faster than that, and a five-minute wait is an annoying pain in the ass.
