Is this forum conservative? Why?

I'm not complaining. I'm pleasantly surprised. It seems that Sailnet has a conservative majority. I'm new here, but I've been on the Woodenboat forum for years. Their offtopic, appropriately called the Bilge, is radically left. I dont go there much, mostly because I'm here for the boats, partly because they don't tolerate dissent(hm). I was surprised that they are so far left, yet here, on a similar site, we lean right. I always thought sailors a practical, independant group. To me that inplies conservative values. Yet over there, they are far left. I wonder if it is because wooden boats are more the stuff of dreams?
