It would be better for the sake of discussion if everybody avoided that kind of thing but like I said, we're all imperfect - and we like to have fun. Moderation is probably the best compromise. I'll agree that using terms like "Republicunt" and "Christard" constantly and generically sabotages the humor factor and instead makes the poster look like a jackass and an asshole.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
