From what I remember of the Back Alley (which I will admit was a long time ago), it was a place where arguments that seemed to go round and round without end in sight were sent for the participants to continue. IIRC, the gloves came off and moderating was limited (ie people were allowed much more leeway in their behavior.) There was more Catholic vs. Catholic debating, if I remember right. Threads were not started there, they just went their to keep the rest of the phorum tidy.

Fwiw, the Trash phorum is just where the deleted posts of the Church Scholars go to die. Why we need that, I don't know.

Why would that need a place to go?

Do you always answer a question with a question?

Okay... how about "Your deleted posts do not need a phorum of their own."

Well, to be fair, Laudate_Dominum kind of has a monopoly on the Trash board. :hehe:

I think they should all be saved for posterity

So it was an exact replica of the debate table?

No. Think ten times uglier.


And yes, I think L_D does enjoy posting just for the sheer joy of deleting his posts.

then it shouldn't be called "the back alley," but "the gates of hell."

Hehe, HSM's description of the Back Alley does make it sound a bit boring. :D
