I saw this idea posted in a thread a couple days ago. At the time it seemed to be a good idea, I admit I have my doubts. I suggested the author Post this but I see he/she didn't. They probably were showing better judgment than I am now.
The idea is this establish a site where opposite political sides can express opinions (maybe here on DU), sort of a Freeper Outreach Program.
I realize it would give Moderators fits and would require extraordinary protection and trust. Part of my motivation is that I have recently turned a person into the light. It might be fun but suspect it would be a nightmare to manage.
1. Feel free to start a yahoo group, or something.
There is absolutely no way that I would agree to having something like that here. Have you ever been to freeperland? Those people are bigotted, hatefilled maniacs. Thanks, but no thanks.
You could restrict them to one part of the site, but it would get messy...there are a lot of armchair/behind the keyboard warriors out there which makes for the flamewars....better to convince people in person.
I think that would be disasterous (although good in theory). Freepers are already here disrupting our threads. I would hate to think what would happen if we invited them.
