You really don't know how it works in Politics and Toke n Talk do you?
Both free-for-all, wild-wild west forums man. Go in either and spout crap you're gonna get flamed! Or you can flame the ones who do.
UncaBuck just says whatever he thinks will push your buttons and he's fairly good at it. This kind of shennanigans doesn't go on in the more polite areas hardly at all.
A forum like this is like a city and every city has it's 'Skid Row' where the seamier side of life hangs out. Polite society can just pretend it isn't there.
Me? I like to go slumming once in a while.
