Pugnacity, Mendacity, Sleaze and Harm

by Figleaf23 July 20, 2011

a once-popular Canadian political discussion forum associated with the University of Lethbridge in the bible-belt of the province of Alberta. At first Mapleleafweb strove for intelligent discussion carried out under objective rules. In recent years the rules and tone have been changed to give greater advantage for those promoting rightwing views.

Many people who used to post at mapleleafweb.com have been driven away by the increasing favoritism given to rightwing participants.
