Spirituality subforum - POLL

[Eltu]

I'd like to remind everyone that this thread is for discussing the poll itself only. Please stay on topic.

My problem with this poll is that 'do not implement any' and 'implement both it and an alternative to keep things balanced' take votes away from each other (at the time of posting this message, they have a total of 7 between them, against 7 wanting special privilege to only one subforum and not the other) - for example, I would say that IDEALLY there would be neither, but if this is added, we need to balance it.

Those two options are different. Someone supporting the first option is very different from someone supporting the third when it comes to how to approach this after the poll is done. That's why they both exist.

I want the Spirituality (in most general terms) subforum. But if other people want a strictly scientific one, let them have it, I don't mind. It can turn out fascinating, who knows?

It's not a matter of vital importance for me so I haven't voted for "Yes, but..." (the third option) - but I prefer to "live & let live".

[iron_jones]

I cast my vote.

I don't see why anyone would say no to this. If you don't want a sub-forum, don't go on it.

People need to stop comparing this to other subforums, because this is not only about narrowing down the subject matter, but also controlling how a certain subject should be discussed. It's unnecessary and creates needless boundaries where they are not required. Only responsible behaviour is needed to maintain this forum, not some arbitrary rules that will never solve anything in the first place.

Also having a separate logic/science subforum is entirely redundant, since we use logic all the time regardless of activity. Besides, scientific discussion thrives on criticism and scrutiny, since ideas that can be disproved should never be used as building blocks to begin with. And since one can't use subjective opinions to disprove anything, they must be done in scientifically objective manner.

Hopefully this poll will end the debate.

Eltu has asked that we keep this thread about the poll itself. I have addressed this concern in the Spirituality Subforum main thread.

Precisely. This 'logic' subforum is being proposed for equality, but I don't exactly see what it will be used for.
Regardless though, I don't want to upset anyone, so I'll withhold my vote for now and see how this plays out over the next few days.

[iron_jones]

Yeah, calling it a "Logic" sub-forum would feel quite insulting.

[Fkeu'itan]

Voted yes.

Nothing more said.
