Bob, this is often the "did-did not.....am-am not....double bounce back on you" board. Many things that cannot be clearly refuted are personalized. There is a core group of posters that lead this mudslinging charge and they are on both sides of the political spectrum. Labels like "liar, traitor, and anti-American" are commonly affixed to posters and posts, and aspersions are cast on the personal lives and characteristics of the posters. With that kind of entrenched internet culture, is there any effective way to police the thread? I guess that most of us here have learned to accept the thread as it is, although it would be nice to have thoughtful, even passionate, discussions without all the venom. Either spend a couple of weeks and police it intensely to get it stopped or let it run. The in-between course is obviously frustrating and it clearly is not working. Whether the culture is altered or not, the thread does have value with lots of interesting articles posted and a few thoughtful posters with good insights.
