I would like to believe that when dealing with difficult and/or controversial topics, people could discuss them in a reasonable and civilized manner.
A major point to recall was that providing factual information may be appropriate but attempting to persuade readers or proselytize your views are not.
For example, Duncan could explain what the Russian leaders believed was the correct model for society or did to implement that vision, but he shouldn't then try and persuade us that Lenin was a secular saint ;-).
