These threads are a giant pain to moderate. One of the reasons is that we have to accept that people will disagree, and sometimes they will disagree harshly and may even get a tad frustrated and emotional. So the line is hard to identify sometimes between disagreement and debate and just attacking and insulting your adversary.
But let’s at least just… try. Remember that people have different values and different beliefs and will come to different conclusions about what to do, how to vote, who is good and who is bad, and all of that. There is a diversity of opinions out there and as long as people are being honest brokers about it there is no reason we can’t both express our disagreement and just kind of…. be nice about it.
Now, I know that’s not always easy. But the more effort we put into that, the easier the job of being a mod is. And I’d rather just participate in the thread than moderate it, if I’m being honest. So…. help a lazy mod out, and try to be nice to each other as much as you can..?

To the bolded: then just don't?
Unless you just had to delete some crazy posts or something, this seems like an odd time for this message. This has been about as good a political discussion as one could ever expect...of course there is going to be a little bit of spice here and there because we are talking about things that actually matter, but this discourse is still more civil than most of the threads about hockey.
