We are now seeing significant incidences of posters bringing their hostility toward other members into main board threads through direct responses and comments that may outwardly appear innocuous but are intended to antagonize. This must stop NOW.
The existence of the political forum and posting privileges may be at risk if this continues.

I was one of the posters on the original Political Forum and sadly recall a few posters who became so abusive they were removed as members of TOTV and eventually removed Political forum because some posters simply could not follow the rules of civiity.
I am also one of the posters who pleaded with TOTV to please return Political forum to TOTV. You folks did and it was a wise move to list everyone as guest and to eliminate the PM option.
Unfortunately with a turn of events usernames were discovered, additional posters joined Political Talk and a few cause havoc an still do.
TOTV's rule of personal attacks is being violated and I have written a number of threads to discourage this practice, as have others.
It would seem that any poster who carries such conduct outside political talk ought to be ousted immediately from TOTV.
Further review by moderators ought to post warning to those posters who violate the "personal attack rule". I would suggest three warnings and their out.
As you will note political Talk given the number of threads is popular. The many should not be penalized because of the few.
Thank you for listening.
