As long as the name-calling doesn't happen here, we have achieved our goal.

If I limited the thread to what I consider factual, credible and independently verifiable, the volume of things pasted and posted here would drop dramatically.

But I don't want to play schoolmarm on the thread beyond making sure everyone plays nice. And we are getting an interesting variety of articles, even if some are more partisan than I would like.

So far we have three bans on the right and three on the left, plus people on both sides have told me I am too radical to be in the center.

Which tells me we have it just about right, balancewise. As people push or cross that line, I will try to deal with it through gentle nudging and general thread philosophy posts like this.

Failing that, they get zapped.
