.debate doesn't suffer fools gladly, no. If you just waltz in there and
tell people you have some Good News for them, you're not likely to get a
warm reception.

If I had my druthers, I'd really rather it went straight to .debate... I
don't think there's any levity at all in this subthread. I'm the curator of
.fun and .geek (which gives me no extra authority to force things to go any
particular place, but which does give the expectation that I've thought
about proper compartmentalization in this area, and I have) and I just don't
see it as the sort of topic that gets put in .fun
Do what Mags said, lurk first. Lurk a LOT.
Read some of the big theology threads so you know you aren't going to be
covering plowed ground. Then, if you must, plunge in. But by now most
.debate readers presumably know what you want to say already, so why say it
unless you have a new twist?
And consider starting a new thread rather than continuing this one, it's off
track from what Tim had in mind when he started it.
Good luck.
