Default what's this forum for?

It definitely is not for openmindedness.

I think it's the same old "if you hadn't such a closed mind you'd agree with me" kind of argument.

What does that mean? I saw it in a Simpsons episode and couldn't figure out the gag there.

I see open mindedness here, assuming you mean 'here' as in ii as a whole. I also see people who've been damaged by extremism though and you can't blame them for being angry if people come here specifically to evangelise.

But maybe I am missing your point entirely. I don't know which forum this topic was moved from.

All the naughty threads end up in ~E~.

However, occasionally, mistakes are made, e.g. my profile pic thread.

Yeah my Xian fundies thread too! *sulks*

However, I don't think the OP was asking what ELSEWHERE was for, as, if you remember, the thread would not have been here originally. Dunno where it was though, so it's kinda hard to respond.

Yes, that is true.
