Mike:
This isn't an elementary school classroom, and even if it were, we aren't perfect - mods included. To be honest, reading everyone's posts for name-calling is tedious and uninteresting to me - there is precisely zero chance of me making it my mission in life to catch everything.
What it comes down to in my mind is that demeaning names are a distraction from issues and facts, which are what interest me as a reader, not as a mod. I'll keep trying to see both sides. I learned something about "shrub" today that I didn't know before.
All that said, I agree with your allusion to Space Balls. This article hit the front page of Digg yesterday, and I have yet to read any confirmation - even in the blog realm. I suspect it will go nowhere.
