No new section, no new rules, no exceptions for anyone.
OK then. Perhaps we need another Forum with a title like 'general philosophy' for 'serious chat' which is not just light banter. There is an essentIal difference between that and the catch-all 'new theories' but both are serious topics.
As for just chat, I think you really only need one or two topics as they all end up the same no matter what the title says. I also prefer to pronounce Just chat in a french accent...because most of it is!
It is a place to unwind, and is (usually) free from posters trying to intellectually outdo each other in order to score points. People take themselves far too seriously.
So we should shift a fair number of the posts on this forum elsewhere, perhaps?
I always had the impression that New Theories was not so much a place for New Theories, but more of a place to house the nutters and way out there people.
Take a look around "new theories", how many of the posts are new theories? Not many, this is a dumping ground for the wackier topics and wackier posters. Most of them know it, but are happy to be able to post and be left alone.
Isn't POIS part of the New Theories "family" you dismiss, Paul? You made no distinction at all.
The above still reads to me like a wholesale dismissal of New Theories, which includes POIS.
From your last post, however, it seems that it's not what you meant to convey, and I appreciate that.
I agree Paul...
