Loyalty Oath
Possible wording for one if it becomes necessary after the Boston convention:

"...Once the Democratic party officially nominates its candidate for president, then the time for fighting is over and the negative attacks against candidates must stop. The administrators of this website do not wish for our message board to be used as a platform to attack and tear down the only progressive on the planet with any hope of defeating George W. Bush. Constructive criticism and even outright disappointment with the candidate may be expressed, but partisan negative attacks will not be welcome. If you wish to contribute to the defeat of the Democratic candidate for president, then you are welcome to use someone else's bandwidth on some other website. As the election season draws closer, we may expand this rule to include Democratic candidates for other political offices."

2. Silly to even post this, besides I'll choose not to post articles
or argue against the nominee if it's someone I surely don't want. And there's only one person left in the race that would force me to take a self-imposed time-out until after the election, in those forums.
