You can save the flame bait. You just admitted the whole "wanting to help prevent flame wars in the science threads" song and dance you were doing was a farce.

You went to the Religion moderators wanting a "Scientism" category, arguing that it was hypothetically possible for such a religion to exist, so there should be a category for it, even though nobody could find a single person who claimed to subsribe to such a religion. Then you tried to get the science threads posted there to "prevent flame wars". That never happened.

So you got your "Scientism" category in Religion, and it never got used. That means that it did absolutley nothing to prevent the flame wars.

Buy by your own account it was a success because you got that category created. "Success" means having acheived the desired objective. Since failing to have done anything to prevent the flame wars hasn't been any obstacle to the success of the endeavor that must not have been the objective. The real objective was getting that category created for propaganda value. It accomplished absolutely nothing, but you did manage to waste a bunch of other people's time getting it. Congratulations. I hope you're proud of yourself.

The thing worked, it cut down the flame wars on those sensitive subjects. What I casually noticed on those threads was whose comments were getting deleted, and basically who was responsible for the flamewars: it was the science religionists. So, now anytime someone wants to discuss a science subject like crevo but weed out the 01100010 01110101 01101100 01101100 01110011 01101000 01101001 01110100 00001101 00001010, they can set up one of those threads.
