I suppose I shouldn't have read this, but it's a BS post, Poppet. You know better than this.

Blaming Ken seems too easy.

Given that the majority of posters on this board behave execrably and considering Ken doesn't get paid for this (save perhaps for a small amount of AdSense revenue, which would be limited by the board's very light traffic), asking him to stem the tide of asshattery seems a bit unreasonable. But I suppose expecting posters to act in good faith and conduct themselves as if actual discussion were a priority is even less reasonable. It is ever this with political forums...

As 'habeas,' I WAS that poster - acting in good faith, conducting myself as if discussion was a priority.
If you actually read my (and other) posts, you'd not only have observed this, but the fact that I came increasingly under attack from the Spoiled Children - Mongo, CE0802, gTg, Dara, and others. Insults, smears, personal attacks - NONE seemed to want anything like personal discussions. ALL seemed to want to drive any non-compliant poster off the board.
For awhile I called them on this, asked why they violated rules, asked why they made everything personal..and I thought it was getting better. Then it just went south again, as an entire new series of Mongo-led personal attacks broke out.
It got to the point where I top-posted a call-out of Mongo and asked Ken why he didn't have to obey the rules POSTED AT THE TOP OF THE DAMN BOARD. I posted his reply here - he blamed ME and said 'Well, maybe if YOU were better, there would be enforcement of the rules.' That's Ken's idea of moderating a damn board.
So do I blame him? YOU BET I BLAME HIM. And I blame posters like you, who continue to let him off, aid and abet his incompetence, his laziness, his failure and his biases. Hell, you yourself give Mongo a pass at every opportunity, post to him, post on his board. You treat him like the 'decent poster' he is incapable of being.
So don't tell me about Ken. KEN IS THE PROBLEM. And Ken's supporters as well.
