Seems to me you can take part in the debates and still restrain the idiots from being offensive.

I agree with that sentiment, but I personally found it difficult to straddle the line in this one thread.
The quality of my personal posts is not apparent in the politics thread at this time because I personally don't have enough information and counter information to engage in true meaningful debate, especially in very high level discourse of political philosophy.
My abstinence will help keep clarity and transparancy of moderating.
Maybe once I'm better versed in the topics and players I can also better moderate and direct discussions/debate to either conclusion or agree to disagree stalemate.
What seems to happen is that the agree to disagree stalemate comes to play not as often as it should and instead turns the thread into a quoting and counter quoting match of trying to show how stupid or idiotic the other person is.
