This board, Lebell, IS the place that keeps the rest of TFP clean of arguements where participants are unwilling to consider the validity of other members posts. That said, heavier moderation is not the answer - someone with an open mind may still actually benefit from some of these posts.
I don't participate here often because I get frustrated over statements like "I hate President Bush." I don't care for him as a leader either, but if you honestly hate the man its gonna be difficult to develop a working discussion around issues involving the Presidency.
I don't see how heavier moderation can change the one-track mindedness of the worst offenders.

I agree. I also spend a lot of time reading the posts and find myself getting too upset to respond. But, I think is shows a lot of charcter to the mods and to this board to allow us the freedom to show our ignorance. I am greatfull....
