Alright...I was attempting to inject a little humor into it, but I see it wasn't well received. It wasn't meant to be a "backhand slap at the responder." SORRY.
If I knew how to change it, I'd just go ahead and stick a "yes" or "no" instead of the others, if that would make everyone happy.
I'd like to have this forum, and not due to any "vanity..." I'm truly interested in WHY people think the way they do, and it would be nice to have a specific area for controversial subjects. Everything from the subjects mentioned in the first post, to religion, to politics....things that really get people's blood up, things they think they have firm beliefs on. I want to know how people think, and why. Call it an ongoing observation of the origin and evolution of individual opinions, on my part. Ultimately, THAT'S the reason I'd like to have this forum.
If you don't like the idea of me having a forum, well, simply don't post there. Some of the regulars seem to be acting as if I've personally offended them by requesting my own forum, citing reasons why they believe it's not a good idea...everything from "I thought you had to prove yourself, first" to "If you want your own forum, find something NEW as a topic."
Well, there AREN'T any new topics. EVERYTHING is talked about SOMEWHERE. This forum would be an interesting little roundtable, and I really don't see why some of the regulars have such a big problem with it. Undertoad didn't seem to have a problem with it when I told him my idea, so it can't have been abysmal....and like I said...the forum would evolve, but it has to start somewhere.
