It is, in many ways, still the best board on the 'net. But it is, also, in many ways, a tiny step up from other boards.
The end point for me, personally, have been a number of threads on Israel that have been trolled thoroughly. Posters like Pantom who have claimed that Israel was deliberately targeting UN officers... because of course, in his own trollish claims, it is not only possible to notice, but impossible not to notice a blue helmet on a black and white video gunner's screen.Or RTFirefly who, without even knowing what Hamas' stated goals are, were, who their backing is, etc... was busy crapping all over a thread, inventing facts and argument as he went

eh. I don't really frequent the Pit or GD all that much... for me it's enough just to be able to talk about mundane things with people who can punctuate and don't type in capslock.
also, you must realize that your opinion on Israel is about as popular among (non-Jewish) thinkers as Dubya. it's a volatile situation, and there are going to be a lot of gut reactions no matter where you go. the only way you're going to get away from that is by joining a message board where people either hold the exact same opinions as you or just don't like arguing.
