261. I don't mean making snarky rejoinders.

That sort of thing is an acceptable part of debate. I meant the virulent name calling and direct insult attacks designed to change the subject, raise the temperature and lower the level of discourse. That sort of thing merits censoring, not heated disagreement and smart ass comments, at least so long as they are clever.

Or require 5-2 or 6-1 to hide.	SusanCalvin	Jul 2015	#217
Why would the jury system need oversight if its random and anonymous??	cstanleytech	Jul 2015	#294

I didn't see the cult thing. I went to take a nap.	bravenak	Jul 2015	#251
Maybe you should admonish	Duckhunter935	Jul 2015	#253
I was just trying to help you out.	bravenak	Jul 2015	#254
But it is ok to do the same to Bernie supporters	Duckhunter935	Jul 2015	#256
No. I still don't see that post.	bravenak	Jul 2015	#257

Doesn't this have a familiar stench in your opinion?	Behind the Aegis	Jul 2015	#204
It really does--the same gaslighting and fostering of straw-men and half-truths	Starry Messenger	Jul 2015	#211

Over the flame bait threads? nt	Gore1FL	Jul 2015	#137
How was it flame bait?	DemocratSinceBirth	Jul 2015	#167
I saw a flamebait thread yesterday attacking sanders.	Gore1FL	Jul 2015	#220
He was referring to the homogeneity of a candidate's audiences.	DemocratSinceBirth	Jul 2015	#221
The manner in which it was presented was flame bait.	Gore1FL	Jul 2015	#223
Precisely, the homogeneity of the audience reflected the homogeneity of the city where it was held.	DemocratSinceBirth	Jul 2015	#225
So it is Sander's fault that Portland ME has a lot of white people	Gore1FL	Jul 2015	#226
The poster was speaking to his choice of venues	DemocratSinceBirth	Jul 2015	#230
Large venues, to be sure.... Perhaps I missed something in the text; let's look!	Gore1FL	Jul 2015	#277
He's a voter and he wants the senator to address the issues of his community on his terms.	DemocratSinceBirth	Jul 2015	#278
