Depends on what we were discussing and what "names" you used. Some subjects just tend to be more provocative in general and I think politics is one. And then there is the notion of you imposing your concept of "ugly" on others. What makes your definition any more acceptable than mine? Anyway, enough said. You will do as you will. I was just trying to make a point. JLA

>>you try emulating William Buckley, and his brother, can't remember his name, excellent debaters, and I've never seen them call other people names.

Reid. And James.

Well, seeing ain't hearing. Buckley called Gore Vidal a *** in 1968, and I believe it was on national television.

Name-calling is not below the board, so long as it is true and on-topic. Buckley was arguably off-topic.
