It's times like these that I *really* wish the Creative Speculation forum wasn't retired

Earl G, I wish you would consider reactivating the Creative Speculation forum, so that those of us who don’t wish to engage in such speculation don’t have to scroll through the multitude of such posts in GD.

The CS forum served DU well in the past, sequestering the numerous threads about 9/11, JFK, UFO’s, Bigfoot, etc., de-cluttering the GD forum so that non-speculating DUers could focus on reality based discussions of electing Democrats and supporting Democratic legislation.

and it's cluttering the place up. Not in a good way, either.

Creative speculation is fun!

It's pretty much what the entire "mystery" genre is built on.

But it does get in the way of life when people jumble it together with boring old reality.

People just can't help making up their own theories if they can't get all the facts immediately.

so I would like a place to read it, and if it helps make the rest of the site more "clutter-free" for other users, why not?
