Mudcat IS a political blog site that attracts trolls and whack jobs from lots of places, as well as people who just like to argue. We're not a folk music site anymore, and we're not a community, and I think most of the friends and allies we'll ever have in the physical world because of Mudcat have have already been made, and in some cases, lost.

Yup. And a particularly rancorous and uncreative political blog at that .
