This is, of course, nonsense. ALL political forums of ALL Internet boards are adversarial. The tone is always combative. Cordiality and restraint are almost never in evidence. Certainly the Politics forum of DF is no different. I'm hard pressed to find a single thread without outright disdain of one camp for the other. The hostility goes both ways and is constant.

And since you are an active poster, you are part of this. Don't pretend to detachment and bland courtesy that you yourself have not shown.

These are the facts of every political forum: people get angry at each other. Constant disrespect is a given. And it's always a mistake for moderators to join in, as they are no better than anyone else, and indeed worse, since inevitably they can't resist the urge to use their status to give threats.
