Actually, it was more or less intended as a way to clear the decks on the General page ... a place to put topics that have been discussed to death in a reliably less-than-civil manner. In fact, discussed is a pretty generous word ....The Isolation Ward is meant to give breathing room to topics that are being pursued with some balance of advocacy and inquiry. As one might guess, it's beginning to make us think that we should just automagically incorporate all the repetitive and perpetually-pointless and just-for-their-own-sake posts from Prop Head—but then there wouldn't be much here now, would there?
Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum, et cetera, et cetera...
Memo bis punitor delicatum! It's all there, black and white,
clear as crystal! Blah, blah, and so on and so forth ...
