Name calling and other adult debating tactics

Postby NERVUN » Fri Aug 14, 2009 9:35 pm

I could be misremembering, but I seem to recall a Mod ruling that refering to either conservatives and/or liberals with not-so-nice names such as a libtard is a no-no.

If so, Krypton-Zod is being... his normal self actually, but still not exactly engaging in good debate:

The calling-down-rains-of-fire Wrath of Mod is reserved for charmers like "Democrap" and "Republicunt". But I have frowned disapprovingly on the schoolyard jeering.
