onut... Name calling is extremely childish, and makes whoever does it look bad. If you want, check the RULES area out. It plainly says the following:
----
we will not allow members to bash any political leader. Be it from any nation. Political discussion can be done in a friendly way. You can disagree with a political leader without wanton bashing. It will not be allowed. Threads will be closed if we see this occurring.
----
So, if you read the rules, you would have answered your own question.
As most of you know, we cannot catch every little snide remark in every single thread. We try, but it's hard.
But if any of you see anyone bashing--be it name calling or whatever-- simply report the post, and it will either be closed, or the post in that thread will be deleted and the offender will be suspended if it's been more than once.
