I think maybe the moderators could step in occasionally and do something about it.  Calling liberals "the scum of the earth," or saying someone was "born a prick," if I was moderating the message board, I would delete those posts and issue some warnings.

You beat me to it regarding the name calling. I hate the personal insults and name calling. It's not necessary. If I ever get to that point, and I have a time or two, it's time for me to step away for a few days and take a breather. But that's me. Obviously others aren't bothered by it and deleting posts is a form of censorship I don't agree with. In the past I've temporarily blocked people just to get a break from their mouth breathing.
