"Whatever exists, whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. These anonymous creatures may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

It works on different levels. Shooting someone in the head to kill them is different from shooting them in the knee to immobilize them (best analogy I could think of at the moment, sue me) it's still shooting them, but they're still different, in a sense, and produce different effects. In the same sense, putting it in a different forum is safer than putting it in the flood. Not saying that it'll be perfectly safe, but at least there's a certain "barrier" that some aren't willing to cross, see what I mean?
Not really, no.
Now I'll make the assumption that you know who, at the very least, many of the intelligent people are that you want in your debate forum. You also said that you have a group designed for having debates. So why not just invite everyone you want in your group? It will consist of everyone that would be in the debate forum, minus the spammers and people who don't know how to properly debate.
I don't see how having a different forum that is advertised for debating will be protected by simply not being in the other forums and having three simple words hanging about.

By debating against the debate forum in a forum, you are debating in a forum, which is what we want to do. So even if you think we shouldn't have a debate forum, you are still debating in a forum.
If I say "The sky is green" and then give no explanation why, would it even be worth your time to listen to me?
No, it wouldn't, but I do not understand how this proves that I am supporting a debate forum by debating, despite the fact that I am voting against it.
But we're going nowhere rather slowly. Is there a better place to do this?
