1) are well (and more or less equally) represented on both sides of the silliness
2) all claim "the moral/ethical highground" on the basis of their own perception of the behavior of those they consider adversaries
3) and finally, don't eschew the practice they bipartisanly condem, but rather persist in continually egging one another on?
Might it not just be that whatever else may be at issue, some folks just plain ain't happy unless they've got somebody to be angry with?
Timber, given that you are just as capable as anybody of very extended sniping, in fact more capable than most, and often fully as nasty in your way (eg your gloating performance post election was actually the worst and most childish, in my estimation, possibly because it was of a depth unexpected of you) I always find your attempts to look not only magisterial but majestic and nonpartisan when you come in and deliver these little homilies very odd.
I am also interested in what you actually think the effect is, since you have done it since the inception of the site, with no effect as far as I have ever seen?
Truly, a look in the mirror mught be a reasonable thing to do.
