I think Calthrina believes the named individuals are unduly caustic. But as a middle of the road type, I wonder why there are no posters on the right that she finds deserving of the caustic box.
I'm actually a he, but that's a common mistake given my username. I chose these individuals because they seem to be particularly egregious in the comments that they make, and the behavior in which they engage. And the left-leaning individuals on this forum are the most offensive. There are other websites that I go to where the opposite is true, and where I would ban a lot of the right-leaning people.
I assume you are aware that I have
zero tolerance for ad hominem attacks of posters, and will infract any such post that contains such on boards that I moderate. I will do so, even if there is merit to the attack. Attack the content of a post, not the poster. Being offensive about expressing a point of view or vicious attacks on public figures is another matter. That comes with engaging in the public square. Anyway, if you report a post with an ad hominem attack on a poster, I promise you that I shall act on it, and act on it promptly. And it is my perception that such attacks are waning here, precisely because such a hard line position is taken on this matter, by me and some others in the Cave.
Sorry about messing up your gender.
