There seems to be a bit of hostility on these boards towards those with "different" opinions or varying world views. Ironic to say the least and a bit sad

these are all start-ups that i have looked into for activity like profiteering, partisanship, and big biz ties. i found nothing on these sites to indicate that. there are other sites you will find on this forum but they have declared they will censor what they consider nonsense.
you could also help by taking this poll.

The internet is a cold and desolate place - arm yourself. I'm sure a psychologist or two could also argue about the mindset of anonymity. In any case, can you honestly justify judging OWS by a forum with open account creation policy? Sure, its a great way to get the public mindset and iron out issues more or less, but it also offers quite a bit of freedom and the ability to type-before-you-think. Critical thinking is sadly a few generations back in time.
Agree on the critical thinking aspect. And some discussions here are good. But to call someone a troll because they say something different (same with calling them a left wing commie nut job) is not right
No, not in the least. Like I said, the internet is simply one giant flame war. Savor the real discussions when you find them.

Please attend a General Assembly if you are in NYC or attend a occupation in a city near you. There is a GA everyday at 3pm. They are very open minded.
What about the story of the leaders of OW protected by guys with blue armbands? Any truth to that?
you are misinformed!! there are NO leaders within occupywallstreet!!
yeah ... right ...
