Re: Keep it Constructive
I've been concerned about the outcroppings of "militant atheism", by CA and others. I personally would prefer that "militant Christian fundementalism" and such not be confronted with equal but opposite extremism.

Anyway, if the thread can't maintain a constructive course, the alternatives are to move the thread to FFA, or to close it.
In general I'm against moving good topics gone bad (or bad topics gone good), to the FFA. I prefer just to close such topics. But this one seems to have been FFA material right from the beginning.

I can't even tell if the original topic is still under discussion, or even what the original topic was, yet another argument for clear thread titles.
These sort of issues are things I'm trying to work out, at both "Retire Free For All Forum?" and "Dealing with waste of time threads and their posters...".
In the shorter term, I am considering pushing for a short term freeze on the starting of new topics, other than in the "Short Term" forum. Lately we sure seem to have been piling up a lot of new redundant and/or low quality topics, along with some high quality topics.
But all this should go to the "Change in Moderation?" topic, or one of the above cited.
