betsy Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 Can we have a General Discussion section? It can also accomodate conspiracy theories, and maybe some sections that aren't that popular can fall into General Discussion? Quote

Well, no. That means your nonsense won't be all over the place! And at the same time, you won't be deprived of spewing out to your heart's content. I'm fighting for your right to rant, you know. Even when you're hallucinating! You're like a sleeping volcano that's just woken and blowing up all over the place.....your lava oozes everywhere. I don't know for how long we have to put up with it. General Discussion section should keep you well-contained. Edited September 5, 2017 by betsy 1 Quote

We could project all kinds of negative attributes of each other with questionable evidence and state these projections as though they were fact, just like Trump did when he said Obama was tapping his phones. And we would be lying because we really don't know anything about each other. I'm glad to see you are beginning to understand.

The current sub-forums already permit a lot. If you want to start a new discussion and you have no idea what sub-forum to use, put your thread anywhere you want and send us a Report aftwards asking us for help. Knowing Greg as I do, I bet a 2-4 of Canadian beer that he will not be interested either but you are all welcome to make a case. I could be wrong. 23 hours ago, betsy said: It can also accomodate conspiracy theories, and maybe some sections that aren't that popular can fall into General Discussion? I am sorry but this is such a confusing request. Are you asking mod staff to decide on your behalf what is and what is not popular?

Forum Admin Greg Posted September 5, 2017 Forum Admin Report Posted September 5, 2017 What topics fall outside of what's already available in the "OFF-TOPIC DISCUSSIONS" section of the forums?

scribblet Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 I think what Betsy is asking for is a conspiracy theory area where someone can transfer one particular poster's conspiracy theories that he interjects into every discussion, thereby derailing a topic.

Michael Hardner Posted September 5, 2017 Report Posted September 5, 2017 I would like conspiracy theories to be quarantined...sorry I mean contained in a separate section. But to be fair, there has been resistance to the idea because for some it puts such posts at a lower status than "real news".

I knew full well that you would never consider defending Popular Mechanics drivel because you know it's drivel. And yet, knowing full well that it was/is drivel you did carpet bomb that initial thread with the Popular Mechanics drivel. Quote

That definition describes the USGOCT. Prosecutors describe conspiracy theories all the time. Science is what takes it from a theory to a proven fact. Science has proven that the US government conspiracy theory has a zero chance of being true/accurate/plausible. Quote

The opportunity has been there for months on end and not one believer of the USGOCT has offered one iota of evidence/proof. Quote
