Parallel threads are fine.
I think some people here think im suggesting this because I dont want people to "hurt my feelings" in discussion, or whatever lol. Thats not the case.
The reason im suggesting this type of subforum is to encourage productive discussion. Discussion is more productive when it is civil and when there aren't shit posts distracting/detracting from the discussion. It has nothing to do with "not hurting feelings" or "not offending anyone" or whatever. If someone wants to create a parallel thread, they can knock themselves out lol. It wouldn't effect the actual discussion in the civility thread.
.
Also, I didn't want anyone to be "excluded" from that section. My intention is for it to be an open section where anyone can pop in if they wish, so long as they were there for honest contribution to the discussion. This is why I'm saying the debate section is not the same thing as what I'm suggesting.
However, if staff decided to do a trial run by having only a select few people to start off with, I'll take that and appreciate their willingness to see what works and what doesnt, etc.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
