Look, this thread isn't a free for all in which we get to attack host specifically. There's been more than enough of that around here.
Host, one thing is that I prefer for our politics discussions to be about the real world. In the real world, people make decisions based on sources that may be faulty, and they may base their votes on facts. That's why I don't think that it's really possible to collapse discussions into battles of references and citations -- as admirable and thorough as it is that your try to document your reasons for thinking certain things. That's one reason that I prefer to see the information in an article refuted rather than the source attacked or disallowed.
The down side is that we may end up having a bunch of discussions that seems tedious at times.
