KCFS hosts a public discussion forum at our Forum site.

This public forum is for the discussion of topics broadly related to science and science education. Beside science itself, this can include religion, philosophy, education, politics, social issues, law and so on.

None of the comments posted there represent an official position of KCFS unless they are clearly identified as such. Some posters may be KCFS members, but many are not; and even those that are speak for themselves and not as representatives of KCFS.

The KCFS main website and KCFS News and Resources are the homes for material officially related to the activities and positions of KCFS.

We reserve the right to exclude people from the forum if their behavior warrants.

You cannot register and post under multiple names. Please select a name and keep it. If you really want to change your name, email kcfsorg@kcfs.org or jkrebs@sunflower.com, and we’ll see if we can accommodate you.

Issues that arise at or involve other discussion forums or blogs should in general not overflow into this forum. This is especially true if the issues are personal: we absolutely do not want personal feuds from other venues carried over here.

On the other hand, material that is posted in other places is suitable material for discussion here if it is posted here for discussion among us and is not a carry-over from discussion at the other place.

Examples:

Good: Today at a post at Uncommon Descent, Joe wrote, ” … quote from post …” I think this brings up a important concept that I would like to talk about.

Bad: Hey Sam, that was a pretty stupid thing you wrote over at Uncommon Descent today.

Ask if you would like more clarification. This is admittedly a judgment call on the admin’s part, but we think in practice the distinctions will be fairly clear.
