I have a fair and balanced solution for this primary site
This is like two siblings sharing a bedroom. When my kids got a little too rambunctious in their bickering we'd send them to their rooms. Maybe separate sites for each candidate would be appropriate. If we want to find out more about or crow about the candidates we could go to the corresponding area.

1. Where's the fun in that. The new post limit did wonders at cutting the flame baiting.

2. "fair and balanced" *shudder* *puke* *retch* *barf*
Sorry. I thought you were going to suggest that we all watch Fox News.

3. Sounds good to me.
An additional solution could be that if you make a predetermined number of visits to the other candidate's site to make disparaging comments about them, you are blocked from posting in that particular site till next election.

5. SInce I'm uncommitted, I have legitimate questions regarding a candidate's
stance on an issue. When I post that question, the sincere, helpful responses are few and far between, and i usually end up leaving the thread which has transformed into another battle zone, with my original question seeking info ignored.

I see some merit to your proposal.
