...which was always an informal rule (though frequently broken), which they've now expanded into excluding it from the body of the initial post. Not too draconian--those titles show up on the DU homepage.

But basically I agree--I voted "no" despite being dismayed at the recent torrent of candidate bashing and quoting from hard-reichwing sources as if they were reliable as long as they bashed somebody you disagreed with. But I value the authenticity here, which I think can be damaged by enforced niceness. I said, let's ride it out.

Still, the worst rule, in my opinion, is the one they ameliorated (#5) so I'm hoping the cure isn't worse than the problem.
