The tone and extremely harsh statements being made about people from different sections of the country, referring to their ancestors as Nazis, rapists, calling an entire group or class of people "losers" and generally disrepecting your fellow posters will not be allowed on this site. These cultural biases are no different, in my opinion, than racism, sexism or any other form of bigotry. Let's have high-energy and even contentious discussions, but the hatred and insults need to stop.

We also have someone posting under multiple names to make it appear that they have support for their statements. You know who you are, I'll be reviewing your posts, at least temporarily, prior to them appearing on the message board.

I don't want to do it, again, but if we can't exhibit some self control, I'll need to start moderating (filtering) the board.
