re: Controlling threads on the Political Board

obviously i don't mean that we can't criticize them. I just think that calling a politician an "arse", as Rex has done, is trolling. And, I think the same thing of someone who calls Obama a Marxist or the like. Calling them names causes anonymity and lessens the likelihood that actual discussion will take place. Instead, posters call each other names back and forth an political issues are very rarely discussed.

Is it really a bad idea to limit the name calling so that actual political discussion can be had?
