I placed an ad on craigslist about 6 weeks ago [View All]

I said that I wanted to start a political discussion group and that I wanted to meet people in person. I wanted to make new friends in the process of raising awareness about issues that I care about. I said that I was a liberal, but that all political views were welcome. I've got several books and DVDs here that I wanted to loan out to people. I said that we should meet in public initially and once we got to know each other I thought it would be cool if we all got together at someone's house and watched a documentary and then talked about it afterwords.

Well, I didn't get a reply until about a week ago. The guy described himself as a left leaning Republican- social liberal/fiscal conservative. After a couple of short e-mails to each other he asked me to go into detail about what my ideas for the group were and also to describe my views in more detail. So I did and I haven't heard from him since. I'm thinking he probably thought I was loony when I said that my big issue was the corporate influence in politics. Would that scare you off?
