Believe it or not there was a time where this was a relatively civil place where adults could discuss political differences calmly and rationally without resulting to insults and accusations of sock puppetry.  It was a time before Ken became so narcissistic and shrill and Fred became so bitter.  Then again I'm sure there are plenty on this board who love it the way it is and actively seek to antagonize and drive off anyone who espouses an option contrary to the DNC party line.  The only thing worse than a petty, catty forum is one where there are no dissenting opinions.
