Check the ratio of CDZ to Politics participants. If a three digit IQ was required, this forum would be a ghost town.

When the same issue came up a few months ago, the moderator explanation is that sarcasm, hyperbole, and abuse are allowed regarding concepts and ideas; only individual posters have any privilege here. So I can say that fans of Austrian economists should not be allowed around furry forest animals with impunity, but I cannot use such language with regard to a particular poster, even if it were true.

Personally, I would prefer to avoid name-calling in all fora, but if that were enforced, I doubt there would be any posters. My suggestion is to follow posters you think make thoughtful posts you might be interested in. Most threads in any forum are not worth the effort of reading if you try to plow through every post. And of course there is the "ignore" function.
