Some forums/ threads just drag on, whereas their utility has since long been exhausted. Because their contributor’s ingenuity has been dried off and they are simply throwing waste on the viewers. In their case, their moderators are either themselves involved in the discussions or are simply unconcerned with the going on.
GB’s suggestions need attention: though ‘'realist' faction’ and the 'philosophical' faction’ have been segregated but their unnecessary intrusion in alien territories /subjects is uncalled for.
The spiritualist while engaged in the search of the Ultimate-Truth, have to be well versed in the natural sciences (science of senses and 3D world), as this is their first prerequisite. For unless they are conscious of the nature, they can not aspire to the knowledge of that which is beyond the world of senses-time-space, i.e. three dimensional world! Unfortunately this is not so in the case of the so-called ‘realist faction’ because they unnecessarily butt in that subject about which they know nothing. The secular knowledge does not require of a person to be pious in thought or action and so on. A lot many disciplines are self-imposed which are cursorily dismissed by the formers as ‘nonsense’ and so on and on. Very unpleasant indeed!
The simple solution is to appoint a moderator who is well knowledgeable in both the disciplines like NOBODY and IC.

Moderators should be chosen on merit not on the bases of number of posts.

Robert this website will be best among the best, so don’t lose heart. You are doing very fine. Go on. God bless you. Ls.
