Threads like this one attracted me to FR. Interesting ideas, legitimate disagreements, quick communication, a minimum of personal attacks.

The current Coulter threads might belong to another website altogether. Thuggish posters spewing vile invective and even homophobic bigotry in badly written posts.

If a new visitor to FR started out by reading one of those Coulter threads, why on earth would he or she bother to come back to FR?

I know how Jim could fix it tomorrow...the first poster to not add anything of substance (information, analysis, humor) to a post gets a 24 hour timeout.

Because self-zotting (opus not included) is FR's best hidden feature. Look into it.
