Word. I agree.

As with any communication, you also have to consider your audience when you are dealing with strong opinions. Some people can handle a debate involving curse words and name calling, they just have thick skin I guess. I've seen people call each other idiots and yet they've stayed on topic and continued to debate. Then you've got people who call each other idiots and then it just deteriorates into a back and forth of personal attacks, totally getting away from the topic at hand.

I guess that's what you really want to avoid, a deterioration of meaningful discussion. After all, discussion and the exchange of ideas regarding the Redskins (and other stuff) is why we all come to this site.
