Dear NRO Reader, Here's a test for you: go to any website that discusses political news and current events and scroll down to the Comments section of the most recent post. (Yes, we dare you to do that, but make sure there are no children present.)
How many comments in before it descends into total anarchy and ad hominem attacks that have nothing to do with the topic of what may be an otherwise insightful article? If it takes three comments, that would be a miracle.
Internet "discussion" has become the worst symptom of one of the ugliest political years in modern history.
But it doesn't HAVE to be that way. How do we know? Because Ricochet.com exists, that's why. Ricochet.com is the online home for civil conversation and community for conservatives. And, thanks to a recent re-design, Ricochet.com is better than ever. Get two months on us when you join Ricochet 3.0 Perhaps you've visited Ricochet.com before and seen just how many of the familiar faces of NRO can be found on Ricochet as well - as contributors, hosts of our many popular podcasts, and even participating in the back-and-forth discussion with our members. Our friends are your friends: - Charles C.W. Cooke
- Jonah Goldberg
- Kevin Williamson
- John J. Miller
- Mona Charen
- Jay Nordlinger
- Jim Geraghty
- James Lileks
- And the two of us -- Rob Long and Peter Robinson, the co-founders of Ricochet.com.
But if you haven't been to the site in a while, then we've got an important announcement: Ricochet 3.0 has just launched! |
