Plus, I agree with Heat in that it would be entertaining. Tin foil hat threads are annoying in the regular forums. They are borderline spam or troll there. A dedicated sub-forum would be a good place for them. What could it hurt?
And you don't see the problem with that? I mean most folks here already go out of their way to point out how cray cray people are in their thinking. Now a forum isn't a country but it sure goes against the grain to just toss in all the "nuttery" as you define it into a sub group targeted for ridicule.
I think it's a crap idea for no other reason that you apply a label to the nuttery before you've even proven it's nuttery. Might, usually, only take one post to do so. But your still condemning them before you'd even heard what they have to say, nuttery or otherwise.
Again, it's a forum, not a nation. So rights don't apply. Just trying to make a case for one.
Well, I'm now up to 3 of those 24 oz, cans of 8% beer so I am DEFINITELY compromised but I anticipated this response when I was less fucked-up and had prepared my own response: How would the proposed sub-forum differ from what we already have? We have a Christian sub-forum and a Muslim sub-forum. Is a Scooby sub-forum any less valid? I don't see how. If we're going to give Christians and Muslims a sub-forum to argue their insanity, why not one for underground secret bases with alien technology cloned Hitlers building the 4th Reicht? Is that really any more absurd than a woman made from the rib of a man made of clay deceived by a talking snake?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
