We should probably wait and see what kind of response this initial proposal gets over the course of a day or so, to see if there are people interested in discussing it further, and to see if there are potential actions to coordinate. After that, setting up an alternate forum is pretty easy (Maybe a community blog over on blogspot or something, or even just a facebook page would do)
As for advertising, I don’t know… I’m very new to discussing things here on LW, I don’t really know what does and doesn’t work in drawing community attention.
Agreed, waiting for a larger response is a good idea, and might bring attention from people who do know how to advertise things.
If that doesn’t happen, I’d also be happy to discuss things in PMs or over e-mail or skype if you just want someone (rational?) to talk to and having a larger discussion seems unlikely.
