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.

Well this has been yet another iteration of why if it were up to me, I would ban threads anywhere on the forum including the FC board that effectively are about bashing other posters. But hey, it's a forum tradition. I guess near everyone around here is a fan of Fiddler on the Roof or something. Screw tradition.

Thanks. I feel better now.
