Tricky question, ideally I would say no they shouldn't, but unfortunately some of the behaviour and language in the recent thread leaves a nasty taste. I don't like too many rules, but when people cannot behave like adults . . . . than maybe yes.
Yes
No

Ban it. It's just annoying and not what I imagine the majority of people come to a hi fi forum for. The Steve Hoffman forums ban political discussion and it makes for a much nicer place to post when it's just like minded people sticking to music and hi fi.
