People can't handle it
I've heard anecdotal stories and seen examples of other websites where politics are occasionally discussed but not the main thrust of the site and all political discussions have essentially been shut down because of the movie.

Seriously. People cannot handle it. On sites where there has never been any kind of censorship, very open discussions, suddenly any and all Moore/F911 talk is shut down.

It's sad, but telling, don't you guys think?

3. I don't want to implicate myself
because I appear on a few, though not under this name. But people there frequent/lurk here and they don't know my name here. Does that make sense?

It's just too bad that people can't even discuss the film without being told to shut up.

4. You mean folks discuss this stuff elsewhere?
:shrug: Which sites are you talking about. Chat Rooms? I ask because this is the only place I "dwell."
