    Default Behavior in these healthcare discussions

    I don't know why, but for some reason, the recent healthcare discussions seem to fire people up more than the past discussions about the war, or the 2008 election.

    I don't have any problems with that. However, for some reason, some people seem to find the need to start insulting people. There is no restriction on topics here in the conversation, but we do require people to remain respectful and polite. Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean he should be insulted.

    Calling people stupid does not help your argument, will make you seem childish, and will see you banned for a variable length of time.

    I have been discussing politics and religion with many of our senior members here for a long time. Most of them are to the far right of me. We disagree(d) on many things, yet none of us has ever called the other one stupid, trash, or other things. It is possible to discuss those topics, disagree completely, and still maintain proper decorum and even respect for each other.

    Please keep this in mind. If you don't think it is possible to participate in a polite manner, then either stay silent, or find another place to have those discussions.
