Well, so far, neither of them has attacked the other one personally,
just attacked the policies of the other's country (or continent).
Personally, I think that the first one of them to personally insult the
other one, or make unpleasant parallels to the other's rhetoric, has
lost, even if I believe his position is more correct than the other's.
And if I see that sort of losing behavior, I will point it out. You are
free to disagree with me on that issue, of course.
(I just think that both are *capable* of maintaining civil discourse,
but at times choose not to. I'd like to encourage them to maintain
civil discourse on this issue.)
