Nothing to disagree with there, Jon.

Gillymor and BB. I do not use the term 'right wing moron'. Nor do any number of people of my acquaintance on here. In fact, I don't know who does use it. By far the most insulting term I have seen on here, only used by someone on the right, is 'leftard'. Not only insulting to anyone left of centre but a vile use of a slur on mental disorders. That this is left unpunished is an indication of the liberties that the right will take. Terms like that would result in someone being ejected from most folk clubs and as this is a folk forum I am surprised that they get away with it.

But my premise here is that Mudcat as a folk forum, in general, leans towards the left and liberalism. Maybe that is why the right wing conservatives in here are so vociferous and feel that they must challenge everything?
