Folks, conservatives have points worth considering as well as points worth dismissing, and many worth debating - and, the same can be said for liberals. However, I almost never see any good discussion of any topic past the original post - no point counterpoint - no, while this is true, so is this - no, I understand how you see this, but consider this. And if someone does try to debate intelligently, they generally get cut off at the knees, assuring that no one will attempt that folly again. There is right on the right and right on the left and plenty of wrong on both ends, but no one on this board seems to see anything beyond their own politically fed talking points, and that is NOT where most Americans live. End of rant - have a wonderful day.

You make some good points. I personally believe that the Guest feature is not accomplishing the objective. Simply letting people post under their TOTV userids would be helpful ... still some name calling no doubt, but there would be more accountability.
Besides, if people know it's a political forum and they don't like being criticized (especially if and when they prove themselves to not know what they're talking about which in turns invites criticism) then don't post.
In sum, if sensitive posters don't like the heat, stay out of the kitchen etc
