I believe the main criticism of the CRVboy site here was the forum, and I agree their forum has little activity. Until recently, it was the only forum I saw that had political commentary, but the moderator tended to drown out anyone who was not a liberal democrat. I always thought a forum was a place for discussion of diverse views. I was disappointed in what I saw at CRV.
When GA began/restarted it political discussions, I had a look. As a Canadian, I read some of the Canadian political discussions, and I have to say they were excellent! There were very diverse points of view mentioned, but the discussions and responses showed great respect for each other and were a pleasure to read. I agree, Nick, that GA has done an excellent job in creating a dynamic forum.
I would like to say, though, that I enjoy visiting the CRV site for its quality works. In particular, Mike Arram, Tim Mead and Drew Hunt post their most recent works here on a regular basis, and that keeps me coming back to the CRV site. These authors continue to make this a "must visit" site from my perspective.
