We all know—or most anyway—how Spengler's original fora at ATOL have supposedly splintered into three or four fora: Spengler at First Things, Spengler at ATOL, Diegetics, and, possibly, Tor's Conservatory. Each of these fora have their own sub-categories: current events, art, etc.
But maybe what obtains here, in reality, is one, new, big forum encompassing all of the above. Most folks here post on at least two of the fora above, some post on three, some few on all—maybe. And the same obtains for members of the other fora. Are we then one, big, happy family?
Moderation has been an issue on all fora; Say anything you want at FT as long as it doesn't piss off the Zionists or piss on Judaism; say anything you want at ATOL, particularly if its abusive of the Reformation or Reformation theology. Say anything you want at Tor's unless it's plain English (sorry, Tor, just joking), and say anything at all here at Diegetics. In the end, everything pretty much gets read by the family.
One, big, family . . . happiness depends on what one posts and where . .
