What's another good BB to post Philosophy on?

Good question,I've put it myself many times recently.I'm tired to read only mockeries on Franko,Whodini,UCE,Win,Interesting Ian or religion in general.What's interesting is that many of their ideas,especially idealism and dualism,cannot be soundly refuted logically...even science is powerless,at least now.Unfortunately some of them left the site...sure this is their right...but I'm afraid that exactly the mockery is their main reason...
Some people even 'invented' a pompous Logic Prize Award...without being aware that atheists are no better...only that they happen to be a majority here...

[B]I thought that the purpose of these forums is entirely educational and not to 'annihilate' people who happen to not sustain the majority's points of view.In spite of the fact that that majority might be absolutely right in some cases.

I always prefer to ignore abusive posters who will never concede they are wrong (or claim that their position is the only sustainable logically)...even in face of sound,crushing,evidence against...indeed I have nothing to 'gain' from here.Besides I do not even want to 'gain',despite knowing I am absolutely right,what for,I know that I am limited in other things...I prefer to see the straw in my eye.I only say my own point of view,I might be right,those who have eyes to see and ears to hear will see and hear anyway...Important is to exist 'lighthouses',even if not entirely accurate,from which to go further learning by yourself...that's why I really enjoyed reading some of the posts on this site...they open new [and entirely surprising sometimes] perspectives in my quest toward knowledge...But when the proportion [good quality threads/bad quality threads] tends toward 0 [ZERO] I think it's time to move on...

Sorry for the little digression above but sometimes things must be said in face.From what I've seen you are really interested in philosphy,real philosophy,without biases given by a subjective point of view.

My proposals are:

philosophyforums.com (http://www.philosophyforums.com)

-a lively site with many good philosophers around much more capable to answer philosophical questions.Anyway there is enough place for all to expose their own 'philosophies'.The philosophy of science is well covered too.

answerway.com (http://www.answerway.com)

-you should go to the philosophy forum,this site has a lot of categories.The only snag is that the traffic is low [overall] but the philosophy forum is alive.A good place to start putting philosophical questions,there are some good experts there even a PhD.It remembers me the most the format of the former askme.com.

If you are interested by science also you can find some good philosophy forums on:

physicsforums.com (http://physicsforums.com)

sciforums (http://www.sciforums.com)

Of course this does not mean we should leave this forum forever I still find it very interesting...from time to time...I don't project to leave it...yet.
