One way of dealing with this is to set up an SftP website with 
different categories, especially one on Genes, Race & Intelligence. 
Could also include an overview section of SftP's critiques of 
science, PDFs of magazines, etc.

Another way is to set up a separate discussion list on this issue, if 
people feel they'd prefer that it not be so dominant on this one.
