Is Obama a Socialist?

It matters because such a progrom would destroy the USA!

Am I wrong in wondering if (implied) shouting in one's response disrespectful and possibly worth citation? I was under the impression we're supposed to be courteous in these threads.

Cathryn,
Members should always strive to be courteous and respectful to other members and their opinions. In the editorial section, we are given slightly more leeway than other areas of the forums due to the passionate nature of the topics addressed here. So the short answer to your question is no, the post you have quoted would not earn a warning or citation.

As the single moderator for this area, I am kept busy enough searching out and responding to more flagrant violations of respectful debate protocol.
You may always send me a PM (with a link please) to a thread if you feel insulted or flamed by a poster.

On that note, please folks, I ask each of you that contribute to this area to keep in mind that all members have an equal right to participate in these threads and deserve the same respect as you would expect for yourself.

As my Sifu would say: "Not right, not wrong, just different."

Respectfully,
Tantric

Shouting? I thought THIS WAS SHOUTING.
