First as a moderator I have to say that of the moderators not one is cookie cutter. There are different views on hypermiling and the direction of hybrids. Some feel that putting it in SUVs is outrageous and some believe that every little bit helps. As far as politics goes there is also diversity.

The problem is that hybrid technology and politics get intermingled a lot. How can we talk about hybrids without talking about what an administration is or isn't doing to promote them. Should we make it so we can't post about tax credit proposals?

I don't recall reading in any of the main forums any discussion of politics other than what is related to hybrids. Point out the threads so they can be addressed.

I think the only way to balance people on their soapbox is to have someone who dissagrees post. I have yet to see a thread closed or a message deleted because of an opposing viewpoint. If people aren't going to debate the issue how can there be balance?

Are there any messages I'm missing that have people making personal attacks? Or are you talking about very heated debates on some methods of hypermileing?
