A sensible manner = a manner where people that may have vastly different points of view can still manage to discuss the good and bad sides of the coin from both sides in an adult fashion, without letting emotion bleed into it, without namecalling, without being attacked for having a different point of view than the other side. Something that has happened here in the past, and continues to happen since the moderators haven't been hard enough on the ball.

I'm not a thesaurus, Wolf, and I'm pretty sure you can google it to get the definition.

My point is that unless people can behave, they should be punished. The main problem for any moderator is to be consistent about what acceptable behavior is, and to be consistent in the punishment of transgressors.
