babyeaters comments were inappropriate but I decided to give everyone equal warning first.
other comments made since my warning were close to being personal insults but stayed on the reasonable side of the line.

Use specific instances in history that support your opinions. If someone shows your source to be flawed in some way, be gracious in receiving that riposte and acknowledge it. Then you can formulate your next response and continue the debate.
Both the democrats and republicans have their strengths and weaknesses. There is enough material available to support years and years of debates without needing to stoop to threats of violence or name calling.
Lets show our new 8th grade member that we have matured enough to hold reasonable conversations without behaving like an 8th grader ourselves.
