[QUOTE="Mark_the_Lie"][QUOTE="T_P_O"] You worked for a political science journal? Then why the hell have you accused Gamespot of being "extreme left"? When evidently, that is far from the case?T_P_O
Gamespot is extremely far left, as is most of the political science literature out there. Most of what I wrote were moderate discussions on the politics of private property, or discussions about how the energy industry is being used as a political tool. I wrote about the constitution, its relationship to state laws, and how their interaction affects more micro-level political issues. It is possible to write moderate or neutral pieces for a poli-sci journal, but they definitely won't publish much conservative literature. Just because I'm conservative, however, doesn't mean I can't find common ground to write about.
I'd have to differ on the point of Gamespot being extremely far left, there's a number of conservatives, neo-conservatives, right wing libertarians, anarcho-capitalists and even one paleo-conservative that I can think of. Though mainly I don't tend to class American liberalism to be a far "left" political alignment, more so centre rather than shaving to the left. Extremely left personally tends to bring up thoughts about anarcho-syndicalism, libertarian socialism, socialism, Marxist-Leninist communism, Marxism and whatnot. I guess you'll find a few internet communists on Gamespot (or anywhere else on the internet for that matter) and I'm not going to deny there's no one who holds a radical left viewpoint on Gamespot, there's a communist union floating around, I think. I just think that to say that the majority of Gamespot's member base is extremely far left is a stretch. If anything like electorate in the US, there's probably more moderates (between this whole Liberal vs Conservative thing) than we give notice to at present. I apologise if I came off a little aggressive. Otherwise, your published worked sounds quite interesting, woulld you happen to have a link to any?Sorry, I don't have links. I will not send you my originals, because I don't send my copyrighted work to anyone unless it's for academic or business purposes, and you won't be able to access anything of mine from APSA without a subscription. Also, I'm not inclined to let anybody here know my full name or location, which is on the front page of everything I've written.
