I agree, completely

When the Politics and Religion subforum was created, I recall the rationale was to quarantine the offensive digs to that venue. I believe it has backfired. By tolerating the rude and sometimes personal attacks in PARF, we've created a petri dish of horrible disrespectful behaviors.

It festers, breeds, bubbles, and bleeds into other Pelican forums, especially PPOT. It truly poisons my time here, to the point where I don't visit as much.

I don't enjoy being part of a community that cannot be civil towards one another. The moderators have better things to do than nanny behavior that should have been learned in middle school.
