It’s a controversial subject, that will draw heated debate, and there are zingers on both sides here. And I see posters objecting to the points raised in posts as abusive. Having moderators remove such posts is no way to win a debate.

I wasn't thinking of the one ups manship type of comments but of the repeated insults designed to shut down debate by turning the debate into an eye gouging vulgarity contest.

I see the hall mark of debate as the lack of personal attacks not a bunch of childish “zingers”.

But then I didn't make the rules or administer them. (sigh)
