:::Even if I just became a member here, I'm keenly interested in the divides between liberals and conservatives and between people of faith and those without faith that are so important to the way our country works, and over the past few months I've followed Conservapedia as part of my interest in those topics. I understand the idea that people--for better or worse, for right or wrong--are opposed to the ideology that underlies this project, and for the most part I can (sometimes begrudgingly) respect that opposition because I value freedom of thought and speech. But to deliberately spread lies and falsehoodsin order to make your ideological opponents look bad hurts everyone. If there is truth behind your ideals, those ideals will triumph on their own merits.
