It was the Iraq War and related threads, MM had nothing to do with the creation of P&N.

Despite the subtitle of P&N, where personal attacks will not be allowed, there are a host of personal attacks. There's not too much discussion IMHO, there's a post to make a point and then slaying of anyone that disagrees.

According to conjur:

Can't we euthanize these fvcking ignorant-ass people?

I swear. Can ignorance know no bound???
Where's the discussion there? How can you reply to a thread that's foundation is in attacking a group of peeps that have a certain opinion?

As much as I like political banter and discussion, I fear that P&N may not be what the authors intended. What it is, however, is still not clear in my mind.

It seems like authors want to post with a mob mentality, attacking any that oppose and ridiculing the peeps that disagree. That's not the environment that promotes discussion. Perhaps that's why some folks have chosen other forums.
Yeah...darn bigots. They should be allowed to control our lives. I mean, why don't we take away the right to vote from the blacks and women, too.
