Do you always call the moderator when you disagree with somebody?
Man, I've been called a DU plant, a liberal-in-disguise, the "absolute height of hypocrisy", Not a Real American, a bigot, a racist, whiny, haughty, and a pathetic excuse for a human being, and I didn't bother the Mods with any of it.
And that was just today!
No, FR has a no personal attacks policy. This is about as blatant as it gets. If you don't like something another FReeper wrote, then don't stop to call her HYSTERICAL and her writing a piece of crapp. Neither of those comments contributes to an intellectual debate. If you have nothing to say except to insult the poster, then move on.
