We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

How is it that calling somebody a coward is considered civil, but calling a group a bunch of morons not?
I find I tend to give more leeway to those who have posted here before in good faith. Eli fits that bill, as does you. I don't think Derek has ever posted here before (correct me if I'm wrong), and his first comment (that he didn't delete) was calling us morons.
You know how you said you were interested in how this community would develop? Well, I think I've started learning how to be a decent mod. I've learned from users like TJD and Karo. If they start out being uncivil, they'll probably continue being uncivil.
Selectively applying the rules is a recipe for disaster.
Maybe, and if it is, I'll learn then. But discretion is a thing in real life, and it seems to work semi-successfully.
