Hey Dave, glad you joined the Conspiracy Forums and thanks for the good feedback.
You just discovered the ultimate conspiracy (my reasoning for creating the forums

)
Also, good point about the discussions and debates. Haven't really thought about many possible differences between the two before. For now, I think it'll just depend on the thread starter's opinion, if they wish to get into a debate that's perfectly alright, if they just want a general discussion, that's fine too.
