They've got a political discussion area I used to post at when I was running for office. I learned pretty quickly that it has genuinely crazy people who go there each and every single day. There's someone who posts about 100 anti-immigrant posts per day, someone who posts about police brutality in all caps every day, someone who goes into every single craigslist city's politics board and accuses everyone there who posts something they don't like of being a lawyer named "Gibson", they've got someone who accuses everyone who shares my political views of being me, they've got people who advertise their own blogs as though anyone cares what they've got to say, and they've got a whole bunch of Republican trolls who go there to pick fights. This is just the L.A. one. I had stopped even going there to read stuff until a friend told me someone was posting lies about me and accusing people of being me. Now I go there once or twice a day to see what's being said and to flag my stalker or any blatantly racist, anti-semetic, or other off topic posts I see. I've got a few friends who post on the L.A. board and let me know when someone starts accusing them of being me. I don't post because it doesn't do any good and it makes them even more angry when their posts disappear.
It's pretty boring. This board is infinitely better. There are only 2 or 3 trolls (Mercenary, UG, etc.) and they at least pretend to be libertarian.
