And how does that get you anything we don't already have in separate threads.  (It kind of feels like you're setting up your own forum within the forum.

I think you're looking at it the way you want to. Also, I've edited my previous reply to you, please read that as well - it might answer some of your questions.

 I got to tell you, mods aren't going to let you dictate what goes on in your thread any more than you do in any other.

I am doing exactly the opposite of that. I wonder how you failed to see that.

In any case, all of your objections are kind of irrelevant. I'm not breaking any rules. If people like the idea, hopefully they'll try it out. I have repeatedly said I'm not trying to control the conversation, which OPs are notorious for doing(well, not in this case). The original poster does control the conversation to a certain extent, in that he tells you what you'll be talking about in his thread. Well, here, you'll be talking about whatever everyone else is talking about, but the main theme of it is ideas/dilemmas. How is that like the entire forum exactly?

Well no, now that isn't like any part of the forum.  Because OP's don't tell anyone anything about how they may or may not respond in a thread.
