I was just enjoying the P&E thread on Herschel Walker. But I started thinking about THIS thread.
I guess I thought P&E a more “serious” forum, sorta a subset of GD. But this - and other threads - are simply insult pile-ons. It sure didn’t start with much of a proposition statement. Is that not “Pitty?” Or is it OK, because the boards trend Liberal? And we don’t even need to ask whether discussing werewolves and vampires is a hijack. 
I looked at the P&E rules and see:
But the thread is continuing just mocking the candidate, with no moderation trying to direct discussion.
I have no objection to that thread, but it is an example of why I am confused as to the supposed different rules and tone for the different fora, and how they are applied. Strikes me as odd to see such material in P&E, and see similar stuff disfavored in IMHO/MPSIMS.
