jcryan, I agree to some extent that this board is different, it certainly tries to be a haven for those who do not wish to have their belief structure threatened. [i.e. Do not want to worry, as opposed to not worried.]
All inputs that enhance a positive outlook are welcomed unchallenged, even those of questionable veracity. Alternately any input or poster that is deemed negative is resisted regardless of the quality of the input.
You are correct when you suggest that there are a lot of reruns, I offer a couple of reasons. The vast majority of positive posts here are endless rehashes of previously reported information and due to the leanings of the membership are welcomed. The constant repetition of positive news is very comforting. The 'rerun' aspect of negative questions is also a consequence of board behaviour. Most negatively leaning questions are dismissed without being addressed. Typical responses call into question the motives of the poster without addressing the content of the post. It is inevitable that these unanswered questions return again and again.
Do not be concerned, tranquility will be the eventual outcome. One day the controversies will end and one way or another things will quiet down.
