The discussion of political candidates has, on the whole, lacked reason and decency. I have never seen anything like it on FR.

Oh, I see it every time I post on FR. There have always been those who rely on insults and invective...and who run howling to the moderators the moment someone gives them a taste of their own medicine. Those sorts of posters seem to be taking over the debate.
I often wonder how to reverse that trend, and I’m beginning to think that something like a code of conduct is in order. I doubt FR will impose one, but that doesn’t stop individual posters from observing one. I’m also finding myself engaging the more obnoxious posters on a more frequent basis. Easy to do given my candidate preference.
