    Or, we could enforce the existing list rules against ad hominem. Let people
    talk about politics all they want. They just can't insult or attack list
    members while doing so. Maybe the problem isn't really politics, it is the
    ad hominem attacks being mixed in.

    Or, we could enforce the POL: keyword on political discussions. Several
    people have suggested that people should just delete or filter out what they
    don't want to see. Prefixes would help group these items together in our
    in-boxes and would make filtering much simpler and consistent. If we used
    prefixes more effectively, everybody could filter their view of the list
    into the exact topics they want to see.

    These both used to be practiced on this list, but we have gotten sloppy and
    forgotten.
