Noted conservative intellectual William F. Buckley had a PBS program called Firing Line for 33 years. He interviewed conservatives, liberals, socialists, anarchists, and everyone in between. From his staunch yet well-informed position, he asked excellent questions and participated in lively discussions.

Buckley died a number of years ago, but Margaret Hoover, the granddaughter of President Hoover, is the host of a revived version of the program. She hopes to integrate clips from the former program into the new one to benefit from Buckley's wit and wisdom.

My point here is that his guests didn't leave in a huff. They had respectful and yet lively conversations about important ideas of the day, examining the point of view of the guest. We sometimes achieve that kind of discussion here at mudcat, when trolls have no interest in those threads. Where possible, the trolling will be removed, if people can remember not to respond to their barbs and insults.
