Forums are mostly free-for-alls where anyone with a keyboard can chime in, attempt to be serious and thoughtful or troll the hell out of it. Los Tiempos, the Cochabamba newspaper, has lauched an online forum for political discussion, specifically about the December elections. So far, the online conversation has been rather civil, but it’s just a matter of time until it gets out of control. I give it 8 days.

Take a look at this thread: Evo Morales es nuestra unica esperanza (Evo Morales is our only hope)

It starts off well, with a couple of Evo-apologists, a couple of users with insults and some very good thoughtful criticisms of Mr. Morales. However, come page three, it starts to unravel.
