I think my implication was pretty clear that I do not like bubbles, and regard boards with names like "Liberal Fools" or "Conservative Fools" are just invitations for echo chambers. And, in fact, those echo chambers can be quite hostile. I never received a "ploink" until I visited CF and XF, and then I got a bunch of them. Even though I was very polite, they just assumed I was a troll and either yelled at me, or ploinked me, or both. One guy on CF spoke to me, but was very condescending; and two or three on XF would engage me honestly (one was a preacher by profession).

I agree with you that it is good to other perspectives. That's why I don't go to bubble chamber boards. As you said, they can get quite boring.
