The world's worst this or that implies an objective standard. Who can prove what is objective? Who can enforce what is objective? And who says folk want to improve the quality of discourse in ATP&N? I see no evidence of it.

It seems to me that if the intention is to have a quality forum quality will have to be demanded to post in it, via some elementary rules like total respect for the opinions of others and rational explanations for why one has this or that opinion. Anybody from either side that tried to practice that under the current rules would just get shit on. As it is now everybody already knows the truth and just comes here to shit on those who don't agree. Nobody with a moral conscience would post here.
 
End that with ""End that with, "...because 'God," and suddently the argument gets a whole lot worse" and suddently the argument gets a whole lot worse.
