Your internet providor that you connect with usually gives you access to a email, browsing (by providing a DNS service), sometimes a personal web-page space, and newsGroups.
Ask them about newsGroups. Every job, hobby, pet, team, music group, or any other debate subject seems to have its own newsgroup where people gather to yell at each other. NewsGroups are part of Internet just like www is part of Internet (except newsGroups are much older than www). There are arguments there (ummm I mean debates) that have been going on for decades.
As long as the newsGroups still exist, Moderators dont have to feel too bad about saying "that doesnt fit here" and deleting it.
I tend to live in comp.ai.games (where I learned of GalCiv in '95), comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic (where I learned about Dominions1 in '01), and in alt.hacker (I was the 2nd most frequent poster there for 2003)
