How about starting a new forum area entitled "pseudoarchaelogy and afrocentrist/ufo/nonsense theories that support it"
that way the real archaeology can be discussed in one forum and the pseudoarchaeology can be discussed in another
or heres a better idea
leave this forum as it is and start another entitled "orthodox archaeology"
this of course would require a new moderator who does not believe in the "global archaeological cover up conspiracy"
so I'd suggest Cognito or Forum Monk for that job as both have proved to have a non nonsense approach to the truth and frequently proven their ability to back their posts with credible only links

I can think of a much easier solution.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Wrong and double wrong.
Setting up a separate venue does not create a valid argument.

Maybe Marduk should start his own forum for pseudointellects.

Marduk, I will revert to my habit of ignoring you. I refuse to get into a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

I wasn't aware that you were ignoring me
but how nice of you to drop that in order to personally attack me
btw the correct quotation is
"I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent"

Sounds a lot like something Oscar Wilde might have said.
So the next possible statement might be that the wallpaper goes or i do.
