Allowed!
Directly from the group rules and mission statement. Go to the group
home page and the group rules page and read them. I will post them
again in another post to avoid your disdain for repetition.

Rules
1. There is but one "rule" here in Political Forum, "Govern
yourself with dignity, and be respectful of each and every member".
General Guidelines
The Purpose of the Google Group, Political Forum is to provide a forum
for the free exchange of ideas. All members are encouraged to share
and discuss their viewpoints on a broad spectrum of subject matter, to
include, (but not limited to) American Politics, International
Politics, Political Issues, Politicians, religious influences,
economic policy and current events. The Moderators and Administrators
of Political Forum encourage all of our members to respect the
diversity of views without resorting to personal attacks of other
members. There are times where controversial topics can and do become
"heated"….In other words, there are times where participants will need
to exert their patience, and rely upon their "thick skin".
Stating Opinions: If you are stating something as your opinion, make
it clear that it is only your opinion, and explain why you hold the
position that you do.
"Hit and Run" Posting: If you decide to participate in a thread,
don't just "post and run", without being prepared to back up what you
have said, when others respond.
Choose Your Words Carefully: Try to remember that our members are real
people, with real feelings!! You will find that our members are for
the most part, a very friendly lot, and tend to read your posts! No
matter how heated the conversation or debate gets, try and use
respect at all times!
Baiting; or "Trolling": Don't do it!! A "Forum Troll" is someone who
inspires flaming rhetoric. An individual who purposely attempts to
provoke and "bait" folks into a name calling, internet slugfest. By
example, placing voodoo curses on a member or his family, or
attempting to dance on another member's grave, is a good example of
"trolling". Your moderators are not amused by such behavior! "

"We ask that you be considerate of other member's viewpoints"
"Political Forum is the premiere political forum here in Google Groups
and on the worldwide web! Political Forum is a non-biased,
non-partisan political forum, the Group treats each and every member's
position and viewpoint equally.
Focused on the discussion of pressing national and international
geo-political issues of our time, our membership consists of
individuals from all walks of life, from all corners of the world, to
include academians, politicians, members of our military and defense
professionals, economists and other individuals with expertise on a
variety of issues as well as the "guy and gal next door"! All members
are encouraged to share and discuss their viewpoints on a broad
spectrum of subject matter! We ask that you be considerate of other
member's viewpoints, and that all members bring their sense of humor
along to the group fold! "
Therefor, personal attacks and insults are a clear violation of this
group's decorum, rules, and statement of purpose.
Yes, they are. Now knock it off!

Together, we can change the world, one mind at a time.
Have a great day,
