I think it's useful to note here that the Anonymous who posted the Communist Pig comment was not indented below Brad's comment, but was inline with it. That means it was in response to the same thing Brad's was, and therefore was directed at the Anonymous who was indeed engaging in a calm and intelligent debate.

Let's not kill off the lovely mind-meeting going on here just because the peanut gallery decided to toss an inane epithet into the middle, ok?
