immune to reasonable decorum.What IS reasonable decorum? My basic philosophy has always been, if you cain't run with the big boys, get off the track.
Well OK some cases are blatantly flagrant. Yours Truly has been known to wax over the top on occasion...

Take a look at Kuro5hin.org. The majority of posters are polar opposites. About 2/3 are Socialists and the remaining are either Libertarians or Objectivists. Talk about potential for flamewars! Yet.... Kuro5hin hasn't collapsed, it's still working quite well.
What I think FR needs is a moderation system similar to slashdot's, but for official moderators only. Only 3 ratings: -1, 0, 1. The -1 would be assigned automatically to any post with English profanity. The reason why I think it would have to be official moderators is that I don't think the average joe on FR can be trusted with moderation powers. It would turn into a system of censorship very quickly. What would most likely happen would be a core of hardline rightists would moderate down any comment from someone with an anti-drug war, pro-pornography, etc comment. It would then get nastier when those people start retaliating and moderating down. Before you know it, we'd all have to be surfing at -1 to read anything....

Problem is conservatism is a huge mess right now. I'm not going to say why because I don't want to summon the flying monkeys to your peaceful and well intended thread.
All I'll say is that it's as if the conservative cause has been ripped exactly in half, and it's not the fault of any FReepers.

Now you have to change yourm screen name as you broke the anonymous moderator code.
I don't quite understand your post. Possibly since I missed these disruptor posts.
When you, say this?
"Let's adapt ridicule, poking fun at our adversaries as the method of choice to blow off steam."
You mean Hillary Bill etc... and no more cat fighting about how great (OR NOT) Bush is?
There are those of us who voted for him but don't live every day to post day in the life photos of him and we rightfully question him outloud at times and his policies and we feel stuck in the middle of a flame war, to no avail of discussion.
IMO:There are die hard Bush groupies and die hard Bush haters. Weeding out who is disrupting/attacking and who is debating seems to be the problem. (This applies to the diehard Bush folks -and- the Bush haters.)

Basically, I agree... Whatever the proportion of the division, it's generally not the divided who were the dividers.
That's like blaming the pieces of the pie for the sharpness of the knife.
