Why Not Create A Non-9/11 "Conspiracy" Folder?

[RedSock]

Why doesn't DU create a separate Conspiracy Folder and leave the 9/11 Folder to discussion about ... 9/11?

I've sent an email to the mods about this a month or two ago, but never received a response.

1. Propose it...nt

2. I think that is a good idea, but call it a 911 "Skeptics" Forum

since the "official" version is also a "conspiracy" theory. You know what would happen, though. The non skeptics folder would get no posts.

3. That probably wouldn't work either

There are those of us skeptical of the government's account, and those who are skeptical of accounts that contradict the government's. We're all skeptical!

4. Well, I think on a liberal, progressive forum such as DU

posters should be able to post and discuss a topic without being constantly harassed. It doesn't happen to this extent in the other DU forums. Except for certain things like whether or not John Kerry should have conceded, that created a lot of fighting, but that isn't an entire forum. (The John Kerry Should Have Conceded Forum- lol) At first there was a lot of fighting over election fraud until it became so obvious that no one could deny it, now it is generally accepted. If DU has a stand against 911 skepticism or theorizing , then they should just not have the forum, instead of having the forum and allowing people who constantly ridicule, create unrelated sub threads, and "tag team" against posters.
Someone did a poll awhile ago and the majority of DUers believed in gov't involvement, so it seems like we should be able to discuss it.

5. I take it you mean for UFOs, chemtrails and stuff like that

I agree completely - it seems really weird when they get moved here.

But what would it be called - the "Unconventional theories forum"?

6. Oh, I'm sorry I misunderstood, ignore my other post

Yes, I thought they should have a non 911 conspiracy theory forum too, I think that would be fun. It would also prevent them from being dumped in here, which really pisses me off.
