Sometimes, especially with some of the recent Iraq threads, I've had to just close out of TFP to stop from posting something to get myself banned because of an individual (who has since been banned himself) just got my blood up and I was seeing red.
I do my best to stay away from politics in general because I have a very short temper for that kind of thing (something about not tolerating any bullshit, and my view is that politics is full of bullshit)
I can see both sides of it. Though Hal/etc. wants to keep this as friendly as possible (especially Exhibition where people bare pretty much everything and hope for good comments), sometimes it would be nice to just drop a line to someone and say "Look, shit-for-brains, you're a fucking moron and need to be shot. Quit posting such insanely-fucking-stupid ideas."
