Jon, the nature of the internet lends itself to name calling, unfortunately. Unlike face to face, a person is unlikely to get punched in the mouth for name calling on the 'net.
Most people, too, have their position/preference/prejudice- whatever you choose to call it, and aren't interested in really listening to anyone else's.
Most internet political 'discussions' generate far more heat than light, and persuade no one.
