[Vision2020] An Obama Dilemma

[Paul Rumelhart]

There are a lot of obnoxious posts on this list, period.  I've made a 
few of them myself.  I wish we would all count to ten before posting 
that scathing retort and then see if we think it's still really needed.  
Perhaps we could leave out anything that's actually a personal insult, 
while we're at it, even if it's just a colloquial name for them we use.

I also want a pony.

But to be fair there have been numerous anonymous posters on vision2020 that were quite obnoxious, but on the left wing side of things. I did not see much objection to them.
