quote: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?

I believe you mean "animosity"... which leads to two points:
1- perhaps you don't have the brains to hang
2- animosity on a political talk board? You don't say!
As far as your subject matter goes, a few more points:
1- I didn't merely call Rand Paul an arse. I supported that opinion with facts.
2- When has anybody ever run to the Help Board because Obama or Hillary was called a name? Because THEY are not asses they deserve a lot more respect than does Rand Paul.
3- Get real.
