No matter how much the HA forums can be a frustrating experience, I still like it better than other forums because there the 'truth' is not as censored as it is on other places. Some of these other forums are heavily censored, so that turns me off quite a bit. The only problem is, we keep getting freaks like Konrad/Philosophical Filipino, BoycottAmericanWomen, and OilTradingAcademy back as different users.
If by the "truth not being censored" you mean the forum owner and mod not giving a royal damn about purging threads and banning people because it's precisely this kind of verbal vomiting that he's counting on to get his meager "stable passive income" from ad revenues, then HA is one of the most "truthful" sites around. Sociopaths like the one you mentioned, plus a few more, are now the rule exactly because they know they can have a free and unfettered platform for their rants. Whoever tries to point out how insane most of what they write (and indeed think) won't actually stop them, in fact will only compel them to write more crap and go boldly ahead with their folly.
I don't find this "democratic", or "truth-revealing" in the slightest. Just a poorly moderated forum assaulted by a bunch of nutcases. And to say that, if one bothers looking at threads from the past, so many gems can be found it's amazing...
Too bad, all good things have to come to an end.
