It happened before - an unknown mod began dumping all of womti's posts in one thread, he had a hissy-fit about it, asked to be banned, and (I think) the same mod took him up on his request.
It also happened with Aaaarg (sp?) - but it didn't last long - and with KulturKampf. And thats just in my mock-history - there undoubtedly have been many others.
Giving Coolie his own philosophy thread would make it difficult for him to derail legitimate topics - which has happened multiple times - but it would hamper his ability to comment on discussions where he may have an on-topic point.
EDIT - I'm surprised he hasn't joined this discussion already.
