Should “opinion” be called “news”? That’s my only and simple point here.
No hard and fast rules. Mods mileage will vary. Speaking for myself, when it could potentially spur lively debate I'll let it ride in Frontpage.
And sometimes we like watching the tree shake to see what (read: who) falls out.
It's also red meat.
The more people that read it the better. but rules, are rules I guess.
