# A surprising absence of reliance on logic.  Quite the contrary, logical arguments are often met with ridicule or disdain by liberals today, or a demand to see if any authority can be found who made the same logical argument, in the hope of discrediting that authority.  In school 30 years ago it seemed that liberals would be the first to appeal to logic, but apparently not today.

# An enjoyment and tolerance of deceit.  Liberal editors almost never criticized deceitful behavior as being "wrong".  Liberals generally reject the [[Ten Commandments]], and oppose teaching them to children.  Often liberal editors have defended or applauded deceitful behavior here.  This is remniscent of [[Wikipedia]] co-founder Jimmy Wales offering Essjay a position ''after'' his misrepresentations were disclosed, until public criticism compelled Wales to change his mind.

# A preference for obscenity.  Many liberal editors have complained about Commandment #3 in the [[rules]], which prohibits obscenity.  Frequently liberal editors have introduced obscenity into Conservapedia despite the rules, often leading to blocking accounts.  This is like Wikipedia's popular pages containing pornography, as described in [[Bias in Wikipedia]].

# A preference for complaining rather than submitting new entries.  Many liberal editors have complained 9 times more often than they have made a substantive addition, which violates the [[rule]] against 90% talk per 10% substantive edits.  In some cases this has even necessitated blocking accounts.

# Strident objections to the point in [[Bias in Wikipedia]] quantifying how Wikipedia is six times more liberal than the American public.  It is not that anyone (other than Jimmy Wales) attempts to deny that Wikipedia has a liberal bias.  Instead, liberal editors appear to object to ''quantifying'' it, particularly at a multiple of six.  But why isn't that claim flattering to them?  Conservatives would not object to a claim that they are __ times more conservative than such-and-such.  Perhaps assigning a number to the bias makes it difficult for liberals to deny it exists.

# Over-reliance by liberals on mockery rather than logical argument.

# There are repeated attempts to convert liberal opinion into a statement of fact.  This can be done by citing a liberal advocate as an authority or by selectively invoking a liberal perception about what "most people think."  This style of argument occurs too often, and too selectively, to reflect mere lack of intellectual rigor.  It appears to be central to the liberal style of reasoning.
