I'm puzzled by the this 'extremist' label. How does one qualify?
The views posted on LCF appear to me fairly mild, maybe not always well thoughtout but far from extreme.
e.g. Currently there are two threads running, one where the OP is thinking of getting rid of his family car and the other a teenager asking whether it's a good idea to get a DL. The only sign of 'group think' is people posting advising the former to keep the car and the later to go for the DL.
Final question. Am I an extremist or do you have to be American to qualify? I only ask because I get the impression there is some kind of low intensity civil-war going on here.
