I think you make some kind of point, Craig. Most of my interests (and posts) aren't in proof-oriented discussions.
However, if we tag the Skeptiko Forum Podcast as a non-evidence-discussion forum, then the BvS becomes the old Skeptiko, and it's (pardon me) ideological skeptics, on-the-fence/agnostic folks, and proponents of various persuasion, once again all mixed together, monopolizing the discussion of the evidence - with the problem, for many proponents, being the the presence of the first group - which as we saw in the previous forum, deteriorates and results in a lot of people ignoring some posters (for months or years!), staying out of threads where these folks post gazillion times a day, choosing to leave, getting frustrated at the moderators and then being banned for their insistence, etc. etc. And creating the opportunity for the furthering of pseudo-skepticism and the illusion that proponents don't use "critical thinking".
Respectfully, I think one can be open-minded and/or convinced about the reality of psi and/or survival of consciousness (they're not the same, as you know, so I have a problem with the labels "psi proponent" and "psi skeptic" also), yet not be convinced or have varying degrees of belief/acceptance about the various topics and their sub-categories. Eg, Mrs. Johnson believes NDEs point to the evidence of some kind of possible survival of consciousness, without thinking at the same time that all or any NDEs should be taken literally, but thinks that mediumshp is complete bunk, is skeptical about Ian Stevenson's work, but believes in the possibility of UFOs - but not in a nuts and bolts way, etc. etc.)
Once again, my main interest in posting isn't along those lines (which is the reason for why Skeptiko in general isn't the perfect fit for me, but I very much enjoy the level of discussion, knowledge and intelligence, and I don't think it's possible to find a perfect fit for everyone anyway), although I sometimes do, but many people are.
