Thread for two people doesn't belong in a public forum
Reply to Ben,
If two members wish to have a discussion then it should go in the Great Debate forum. All other forums are public access, if the two aren't happy then they can have a private email discussion.
As for suggesting opening a thread, what is assinine is expecting someone who doesn't mention a new topic to open a thread on it.
What was once the best discussion board on the Net now has as much credibility as Kent Hovind's P.hd.
Percy's vision was to build a board that encouraged academic discussion, but we are now trawling for people who can barely string a coherent sentence together, plus we want to make one of the nastiest people I have ever met into a an admin!
