"Attack him?" You mean this?:

Host and I have always been mutually respectful of each other and the above was in no way an attack on him. Rather, in response to Hal's obvious jab at Host in the OP, I noted that an actual "Host post" would be considerably longer than Hal's (rather amusing) quip that the POTUS finally admitted to being a terrorist.
In relation to the actual thread, I'll say that the hide feature is a good way for us all to make source posts more readable. In theory, this should increase participation in the politics forum because folks will see it as more accessible. While I certainly agree that Host should be permitted to post his lengthy collections of facts about the corruption of the bush administration, Hal makes a good point about how using a tool like the hide feature will make Host's contributions more readable.
