Especially when it comes in the form of calls for violence and racism.

How are false accusations of calls for violence or racism any less objectionable?

Frankly, the moderators do a pretty good job of keeping calls for violence and racism off the boards. The false accusations are another story.

Yet the false accusations, if allowed to stand, are also injurious to public perceptions of FR, the GOP, and conservatism. If one of us falsely brands another as a racist, is that not just fodder for the Left to confirm their broader smears against all of us?

I fail to see why a level playing field on these threads should be controversial.

Perhaps if you clarify what you mean by "false accusations of calls for violence" I would heartily agree.

If by that you mean poster X says one thing, and poster Y totally distorts what poster X said and screams "you're a violent racist" then yes, I agree with you, and no that should not be controversial.
