I think that every site would like to have more diversity. However, the problems remains as you said that with difference in ideology can lead to heated discussions. I grow wary for at the other site I see far too many people being chased away or banned from the site because they do not share the opinion of the majority. What is worse is the fact that far too often those in the majority will run to the moderators to complain and then the next thing you see is that person being infracted or banned.
I like the fact that you have the steel cage here, where members can go if they want, I think that this might keep alot of animosity out of the topics. Thus far I have enjoyed the debate here, and look forward to posting a lot more.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles-Russell Kirk-
