Here are the precepts of religious / science threads on Prog Archives:

1: Everyone is right.
2: Everyone has a false conception about what everyone else is right about.
    Corollary 2.1: Everyone will vehemently argue against the false conception that everyone else is right about.
    Corollary 2.2: Everyone who clarifies what he is right about will be accused of being inconsistent.
3: Everyone who has not had the good sense to quit posting will inevitably be called a troll.
4: Everyone will assure everyone else that he is an expert on a particular related or non-related subject.
    Corollary 4.1: Everyone will call bullsh*t on everyone else's claiming expertise.
          Secondary Corollary 4.1.1: Someone will demonstrate that someone is not an expert in a given field because the latter made a typo or used a slightly incorrect word that in no way affects the argument at hand.
5. Slartibartfast will make a completely irreverent and corny joke.
6. Everyone will post waves of videos / links to books/ excerpts / Wikipedia articles supporting their arguments.
   Corollary 6.1: Everyone ignores everyone else's videos / links to books / excerpts/ Wikipedia articles in accordance with the tl;dr theory.
7. Some well-meaning yet misguided peacekeeper will step in and remind everyone that this is a prog rock site where we all come to get away from the horrors of real life, and that it's all about the music man.
   Corollary 7.1: Everyone will go into prog polls for a time to argue about how amazing / terrible Rush / Dream Theater / Porcupine Tree are.
      Secondary Corollary 7.1.1: Neil Peart is not the uberdrummer.
8. A newbie will join weeks later and post his own insignificant opinion, thereby summoning the foul thread from the depths of the forum, in turn summoning the combatants back to its wretched existence.
   Corollary 8.1: If no one has responded within 20 minutes, the newbie will "bump" the thread.
9. Everyone will rehash everything he has said.
10: Everyone is an idiot.

And finally:

11: Tony R. will get bored and post a picture of the Terminator just before locking the thread.

+1 and Sticky this.

Seconded

It is of my opinion that GY!BE is brilliant. But what do I know, I'm just a PF fanboy.

GY!BE used to just put me to sleep in a bad way. Although that was before I liked post-rock. So I really do owe them another chance.

Change it to "this is mindblowing" and it's all good.

As far as überdrummers go, I'd prefer Bruford or Vander or what's his name, the guy who's behind Ruins and Koenjihyakkei.

Tatsuya Yoshida

And yeah, I think he is my favorite überdrummer.

Really, as far as my favorite goes it's probably Bruford or Vander coming out slightly ahead of Yoshida. They're all great though. OH! and Jaki Liebezeit.
