Re: Is this the right place?
I was against the creation of the "In The News" forum, thinking that the topics would better belong in the other forums. Admin and a lot of the other admins thought otherwise. Topics can be started here directly, without having to go through the "Proposed New Topics".
Being that this forum does exist, this seems the place for the topic.
I view it as a debate forum.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source

Terminal topic disintegration - Closing topic in about 1 hour
Contact with the theme (Behe and/or ID) has be thin at best. Time to lay this one to rest.
Will leave open for about 1 hour for any closing comments, or to see if someone will do a good job of dragging this thing back on topic.
