Ok, this will not work.
This board is for discussing politics. This sort of implies a fairly high standard of discourse, with well thought-out arguments and the ability to back your statements up. Anything less means the board would descend into a useless flame-fest.
As it happens, that is exactly what has happened. This must stop, or this board will be useless and we will have no real choice but to delete it entirely.
In an attempt to get things back on course, I have now deleted some of the absolutely worst recent threads, and permasaged some. I really hate to have to step up moderation here, but if you people can't behave yourself, there is no real choice. So from now, try to stick to the following guidelines:
In summary: This is an adult board. We argue like adults in here. Or at the very least, the way adults think they should argue.
