The way to handle that would be to only post the cross link when you're creating a new parallel thread. From then on, all responses to posts in the original thread can just be posted to the new parallel thread. We can come up with some sort of format for doing that. It would help if there was an objectivist moderator willing to go in and tidy that sort of thing up.
As long as the people in the original thread don't object to their comments being discussed and dissected in another forum without their presence, we're OK. It's going to take considerable self control for them not to charge angrily into the objectivist forum every time they're contradicted and end up in the exact same place they're in now. To be honest, I'm not sure they're capable of that kind of restraint, but perhaps when they find out what happens when they're on an equal playing field with reasoned arguments, they'll stay clear.
See ya
