OK DanS,

It's time to actually back up one of your statements--Other than jokingly referring to goharley as Klinger or goAMFharley (goharley is someone on the left who despite my disagreeing with him on political matters over 90% of the time I actually think is kind of witty and has a good sense of humor) How many times in the last 6 months have I referred to a board member with a personal attack or name other than their moniker or an acronym of said moniker?

I take politicians (public officials) and their politics to task all the time--but I try to be respectful of board members and steer clear of personal attacks and name calling.

I've said this before and it would be nice and very refreshing if more people (particularly those on the left) adhered to the same philosophy:

There's nothing wrong with attacking someones personal politics, but personally attacking someone because of their politics seems to be unnecessary, inappropriate and just plain childish.
