It seems to me a thread with the phrase "Person X is a moron" is going to attract people who have an axe to grind (legitimate or otherwise) about that person. That's fine by me - those threads can be pretty productive in politics.

My point was that a thread clearly like that is going to be pretty heated and there will be some venting, so trying to shift the discussion (which actually was pretty tame imo) into a presumably more 'civilized' register after-the-fact seems a little unfair and contrary to the point of the thread.
I said Pelosi was a moron firstly because the article implies that, and secondly because she is a moron.

Care to refute?

Also, pretty sure someone made a personal insult against Palin earlier in this thread. Didn't see anyone complain about that.
