We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

If that ever happens all hell will melt down.
Anyhow men remember all women are the adversaries specially in Business where they become a viscious enemy.
And the story said "It begins with his firm belief that women are only playthings for his amusement" ~ beware that "firm belief" anything that firm near a woman and you really are in trouble man. YepWoman is the enemy unlessn you are Gay I guess.
Boy, you must be a real hoot ("Hooter"??) to be around.
A real pit of medieval, witch-burning wisdom (Remember Monty Pythons "Burn 'er!!!" witch scene??).
i hope every rational person in congress has her back. Given that we are dealing with Republican/T-pa rty obstructionists , well funded lobbyists, a Bush supreme court, and who knows how many other status-quo idiots, she has her work cut out for her.
I think we need to let her know she has our support on a regular basis, and in as many ways as possible.
That's in a large part why the shiny, suited thugs and goons in the economic charnel-houses aren't in lockdown yet.
Ms Warren actually speaks econo-yak as well, if not better, than they do (I well remember one CEO of a bank and mortgage broker, when challenged by a radio reporter to explain his own bank's loan application forms and sub-clauses, couldn't), so they can't pull the shit over her eyes.
She's also passionate and like (allegedly) Caesar's wife, "Above suspicion" so far at least, and perfectly clear whose side she's on.
Now wait for the attempted slander to begin and be picked up and spread by the owner-media.
Remember Anita Hill and Brooksley Born? What would lead anyone to believe Liz will be treated differently? She's going up against the banksters. They'll do whatever it takes to neutralize her. Her only ally in the senate might be Bernie Sanders. Maybe.
You are correct, but for the wrong reasons.
The "biz press" will love her. She's attractive, appealing and very bright. In short, she will make for a telegenic good story, every time.
Her personal life will get no more scrutiny than any other political celebrity. Which means she has already been vetted. It goes with the job description.
Her phones will be tapped but so are yours and mine and everyone else. Welcome to the WOT. Isn't it a grand thing.
The banksters won't need to neutralize her, she is one vote out of 100. They will not need her vote for anything they want to do.
She will be tamed by the Senate system.
Seniority mixed with deference and team play are the currency necessary to survive in the Senate. Newbie flamethrowers need not apply.
