Regarding the notion that one cannot have a DIR with too many definitions,
I thought we could find a quantified limit by looking at a DIR whose existence
is widely accepted.

Googling feminism, I found (avoiding parody or anti-feminist sites)....

1 Liberal feminism
2 Radical feminism
3 Sex positive feminism
4 Radical libertarian feminism
5 Trans-feminism
6 Cultural feminism
7 Third wave feminism
8 Second wave feminism
9 First wave feminism
10 Native American feminism
11 Islamic feminism
12 Anarcha-feminism
13 Separatist feminism
14 Standpoint feminism
15 Lesbian feminism
16 Womanist feminism
17 Asian American feminism
18 Black feminism
19 Post-colonial feminism
20 Multi-racial feminism
21 Post-modern feminism
22 Chicana feminism
23 Post-structural feminism
24 French feminism
25 Transnational feminism
26 Atheist feminism
27 Feminist theology
28 Christian feminism

These 28 turned up just from a quick perusal, so there could be many more.
Thus, we establish that if there are 28 (or less) flavors of capitalism, then
this would be acceptable on RF.
Socialist feminism
Radical cultural feminism
Social feminism
Eco-feminism
Marxist feminism

But all these feminisms are including under the umbrella of feminism. I am asking which of the capitalisms we know of would be excluded in a capitalism dir.

The capitalisms which are under the umbrella of capitalism would be included.
The faux capitalisms which aren't under the umbrella of capitalism would be excluded.
This would be similar to (but less extreme than) the feminism DIR, which excludes non-feminist egalitarians,
despite the claim by many mainstream feminists that it includes egalitarianism.
You still haven't said how many different definitions are required to preclude a DIR's existence.
Come on now...your detailed argument against a capitalism DIR should be supported by a quantified argument.

Give me a list of them and I will decide. I am perfectly able to be judgemental as hell.

Especially when the stakes are low and the cost to me negligible. Let's face it, we are talking about a sub forum here, not an invasion.

To us it's just a little forum....but to them it's a threat to civilization.
I'm really surprised by the strong opposition to its very existence.
I thought these 'progressives' were supposed to be tolerant of ideas.

Give them an inch...where will it stop though, they are already demanding a Guns Rights subforom and who knows what is next, maybe a Men's Rights Movement subforum or maybe a Birther subforum? Besides, they already have a subforum where they can discuss free market capitalism and all those issues without any interference from liberals or socialists.

Ah....the old slippery slope fallacy.
What will the argument be next?
Let'm have a capitalist forum & before you know it, they'll be torturing kittens & burning books.

^Again I say, an Anti-Abortion person who is a conservative but still opposed to Capitalism can participate in Conservative DIR. Conservative DIR is not for Capitalists.

Sure. it's the Conservative DIR.
Before, you cited the Libertarian DIR, but that failed.
So again you try with another?
I don't identify as a conservative, but I do as a capitalist.

Feminists don't need their DIR because they can post in the Liberal DIR.
By your rationale, the Feminist DIR should be eliminated.

You're new here, so you might not be aware. To the far left crowd (67.8% of RF), conservatives,
libertarians, capitalists, Republicans, & religious fundamentalists are all the same thing. You
could try to use reason to convince them otherwise, but strong with them these feelings are.

************! I am anti-abortion but I would never identify myself as conservative. Being Pro-Life does not make you a conservative. One of the basic and primary tenets of conservatism is a belief in free market capitalism.

What does that have to do with the subject at hand?
Tis an inconvenient question, I know.
From Dictionary.com, a commonly accepted definition of "pro-life"....
Advocating the legal protection of human embyos and fetuses, especially by favoring the outlawing of abortion on the ground that it is the taking of a human life.
If you're "pro-life", it's reasonable to suspect you're anti-choice.
My question would confirm this (or not).
If anti-choice, they you could post in the Conservative DIR, which
would show how fervent anti-capitalists could post there.

You are just attempting to derail.
