since you are addressing me, here's my opinion. (hope nobody's feelings are hurt..just IMO, okay?)
discussing politics civilly will get you blocked from this site if you say something using "negative words". as others have expressed in a previous thread written by panda, this approach makes no sense (see panda's last admin thread).
i was blocked simply for calling bush's policies destructive. i was not being "uncivil", i was discussing politics. i was not outrageous, i didn't put anyone down, etc. if we are not allowed to discuss anything "bad", then we cannot have a real political discussion. period. hence, unless dr. bob changes his concept of what is civil in a political discussion, that place will be a haven for land mines and blocks.
