Disagree with your characterization of "emotional immature name calling that ends up in every political post here."

Indeed there is spirited debate but the immature name calling is the exception. Most debate is on the issues, although at times strident to the point that it might appear to be personal.

You have some posters who are very convinced that their ideas are very correct and others not so correct, and they are not wilting flowers when it comes to debating those ideas.

You have others who tend to throw stink-bombs into the classroom and then run and hide.

And indeed there is a minority who (at times I wonder if it is out of total frustration in trying to engage in meaningful debate when the opposing side won't substantiate their claims) step over the line and resort to name-calling. Unfortunately I have been guilty of that myself in the past and try very hard not to repeat that.

Bottom line is this: This forum is what it is. The Webmaster and at least one other trusted forum member check content and deal with it if they feel it is over the line. If you find it objectionable, then without malice I suggest you leave it to the rest of us.
