If their goal truly was to reduce the RP discussion on the board then they failed rather miserably, and predictably. And of course, I would have no problem with RS taking harsh action against those Paul supporters who have no obvious intention of engaging in dialog if RS would just treat Paul backers as equals who deserve at least a modicum of respect instead of the non-stop ridicule that they've received since the beginning of the primary campaign.
