I am not so sure... given that arguments are as much a matter of

good (i.e., fair) set of ground rules would impose different
standards on feuding sides based on which one of them enjoys the
benefits of the above [LHS] factors. Given that PEN-L constitutes
the purist left (IMHO), I believe Julio's opinion (and robust
defence, often running to multiple virtual pages, of guarded
optimism w.r.t Obama) deserves a lot of leeway, lest we lose content
in pursuit of form. Whether such leeway applies to responses such as
"blah, blah" I will leave for MP to decide.

In this case I agree with Ravi. People don't have to completely
polite to one and the other.
thanks,
