Think you'll find it's largely the friendly forum rules that prevent such comments. You can't have it both ways, I'm afraid.

The entire point of the EE/debate thread is that no one else can post in the thread.

So I'm not worried about who it attracts or doesn't.

...good point. I'd forgotten that was how you were doing it.

Never mind.

The peanut gallery will be a zoo for this one no matter where we have it. Seriously, we could have this on the Sovereignism forum and we'd still end up with a high-traffic peanut gallery. I don't think it's worth worrying about. I still say let's just go with Religion and ignore the peanut gallery.

I guess that's all right; we can't post in it until afterward and I'll tell TySextus and Rathpig and Meemopeep or whatever their names are right now I'm not going to reply to the obvious Xian-baiting shit which the sum total of their repertoirie.

I like the idea of a Soverignism forum though. I wonder in Roman Polanski posts there and if it does does he post in Polska?

So, you're thinking an EE thread in Religions?

I'll flag the Religions mods and let them have a look...

Two of the religions mods will be on stand down next month. Haven't heard yet from the third one.

I'll let raven do the setup of the EE thread. The peanut gallery could possibly be a little hard for one mod (since everyone else is on stand down) to handle.

What does the peanut gallery need, apart from neither me nor Lynn posting in it?

I'll go ahead and start the EE and PG threads if you like. We can see how it goes. It's more likely there will be posts in the EE thread that need moving than posts in the peanut gallery.
