You're right, and I didn't mean to suggest that's your intent either.
I think the point I was getting at is that no online community has equal participation across the full spectrum of social and political opinions, or representations.
But having an equal volume of opposing but comparable magnitude feedback from the extreme positions doesn't mean that both positions are equally represented amongst the community.
Going deeper would require me to enter conjecture and flamewar-baiting territory but my broad opinion is that the Online Right is far more sophisticated in its ability to persuade than the Online Left.
