We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

it is sick
Same on President Obama, the U.S. Senate and House for continuing these wars of agression.

This needs to be compared with the MacChrystal Assessment - did what McChrystal pointed out receive mention in the report?
the Iraq Wars, and could we please end by pulling out of Afganistan... Enough already! Support the protesters!'" o
I hope that this diseased nation is brought to its' knees, humbled, humaliated and destroyed as a threat to the world, in time. Our hubris, our supremely evil sense of exceptionalism that excuses us for any moral restraint, and our belief that we are invincible, which we are not, will be our undoing. The world is a big enough place to decide that it's had enough of us, and do something about it successfully. I no longer believe that change within our formal structures can happen. We are beyond that. The day we have our asses handed to us, and that day WILL come, only then will we be able to hope for a safer world.
Language and truth are weapons.
Folks, its time to un-elect the war mongers. Oh, and have them, not our children, etc., pay for this folly.
