Based on comments that people have made in some threads, I think that’s true. Heck, even in this non-GD thread, you have one person saying that the terms “conservative” and “intellectual” are mutually exclusive. You also have one person sniping at this topic by saying, “A message board filled with ‘your people’ that you can sit down and have chatty posts without feeling like you have 3 eyes in your forehead?” (an extremely unfair characterization, since the thread is specifically about looking for more balanced discussion). I wish I could say that these were isolated incidents, but I’ve been here long enough to know that they aren’t. I’m no surprised that many conservatives choose to shy away from these discussions, given the general tenor of these responses. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-there-a-conservative-version-of-sdmb/536875)._
