Exactly. A subforum doesn't change that.

Giving a new set of rules, making a new subforum, it doesn't fix the root problem; but it's a problem that it doesn't depend but on what each of us have wanted and wants to do with everyone's posts and replies.

There are people who want each here. They should all have a point.

This is how communities evolve. Sometimes they change for the better, sometimes for the worse.

Yet it can be directed in one direction, and negative change can be undone.

The situation is this. It's not a year ago and it's not some hypothetical place where everyone respects each other. If you can't come up with a better solution, I think giving people a zone where they can open themselves about their views on the world like they do in Community Support is the right thing.

The only specific difference with community support is organisational, and that it can not be seen by unregistered users. It isn't a 'this is the only place where you can express your feelings and problems'.

Creating a Logic forum would be pointless and just for the sake of reaction.

It's called being even-handed. It prevents implicitly supporting a view, and one that I could not in good conscience implicitly support at that.

It's fair, but it's pointless and useless since nobody has requested it and nobody would have any idea what to do with it all. The solution is neither denying it to the part of the community that has requested that place.

MANY people have requested it.
Again, I know it would be used - for example, if I wanted to make a thread about the placebo effect and how it affects human perceptions, it would be the perfect section.

Also, what's wrong with saying "it's your point of view"?

Nothing - but it can't become the forum's official point of view.

In all seriousness, we'd probably discuss theories on how religious extremism comes to be, the roots of morality, and maybe even other religions from a secular POV. I'm sure in many issues, we'd almost be discussing the same things, but separately.

This is why I've said it should be a unified Ideology board from the start.

Well said.

I have yet to see a single reason against a combined ideology (or philosophy, or whatever) subforum.
