What if they gave a candidate bashing thread and nobody came? [View All]

[clar]

You know the posts I'm talking about; not just the ones that are blatant bashing, but the ones thinly disguised so as to appear to be legitimate queries. I think of the latter as the faux news approach.
It's all to easy to get sucked into these threads, and almost nothing productive comes from them. Remember Skinner's attack free thread posted earlier this week? Didn't that provide a more substantive and satisfying forum? It's ironic that we who pride ourselves on our tolerance and liberal ideals so often devolve into dishonesty and mudslinging.
