Every so often, the topic comes up whether the forum is biased against Republicans in more than just a numerical sense. I think the answer depends on the type of poster.
Intelligent conservative posters who adopt a friendly, conciliatory tone or are ideologically heterodox (not necessarily both) are generally pretty well treated. On the flip side, obvious trolls or dumb posters are generally recognized as such on the D side. But posters who are well-informed, articulate, and at the same time stridently partisan and aggressive often get much more criticism when they are Republican than they are Democratic.
