Having fully monetized this site, the owners are increasing their revenue stream by founding another message board, without the so-called "Liberal" label. Conservatives and nincompoops have money too, so why not take it from them as well? It's a business decision, that's all. It's their right to do it, this IS America, but it still all boils down to money.

Having said that, you won't see me participating there. We have enough conservatives and misogynists right here, on the premier liberal message board in the country. Why would I want to go there and see the same shit (and more!) being spewed unchecked? It makes no sense. Let them wallow in the gutter.
