After a long time I returned to Sajha to find just the same condition you are calling attention to. I think one of the reasons is that the site has been sanitized to the point that it has lost much of its charm. It was forbidden to disagree strongly with any of the topics posted and I think people began to feel that their opinions ( postings) were no longer welcome or pertinent. You can regulate a thing just so far before it becomes useless and meaningless. There are sharpeners and there are levelers. The sharpeners keeps things lively and interesting. The levelers kill disention and sponteneity. Sajha has become full of levelers. I hope this trend can be reversed to put some more relevency back into this forum.
