DU has a lot of tolerance for foul language and general bad behavior, but not when it is directed at a specific person or a protected group.

You can be very effective in responding to jackasses through ridicule rather than insults and through general implications rather than targeted slams.

And, yes, the drumbeat for "Not Hillary" is loud and monotonous, but it's going to get worse. God help us if she gets elected.
