Topics that start out by insulting or denigrating others are not wanted. Discussion of the merits of a political point of view are fair game. We just want to keep reminding particiapnts that attacking the person, rather than discussing the topic will be seen as one step closer to thread closure. It's really a vague answer, I know, but it's sort of like the definition of obscenity: "I know it when I see it."
