Indeed we are.
Ignoring the fact that I have no idea what "smiring" is, the rest of your post is off topic, and as Sully says, adds nothing but pointless gainsay and misdirection - you'll note I don't call it argument, Runner.
The political threads have become mired in largely meaningless point-scoring, with little rational debate occurring. The feedback to us has been, to say the least, overwhelmingly negative - i.e. most people will not bother to post due to the nature of these threads.
If you have an on-topic, relevant and non-personal point to make, then make it (and this applies to EVERYONE); if you want to have an endless snipe-fest over the same points ad nauseam, then DON'T, but respect our rules and move on. If you cannot get this, you will get a rest.
The tolerance is set to zero - and this applies to everyone.
People taking their lead from question time maybe?
