I gave this a little thought yesterday as well as this morning. Also, several comments made in this thread by some of our members were of valuable insight and reminded me where we're coming from. Paranormal first. I now need to update my position and pretty much sit right in the middle. We want our community to be a place where all sorts of discussions can take place without boundaries, in the smoothest way possible. We think outside the box and we're a time travel forum.
I disagree when it comes to advertising that X or Y member here can change the past. For instance, a grieving person joins and says that he lost his son. Then someone replies "Contact X member, she can change the past". Seriously? This is borderline manipulation. That's flat out giving false hopes to vulnerable people. I'm against that and don't want to see that on here anymore.
So, I'm 100% against giving false hopes to grieving people, that time travel will fix their past.
But... if they want to believe it and consider it an option, despite our advice and warnings (Advice to move on, to consider non-paranormal ways, etc), well it's their choice. And if they want to discuss and entertain that idea, they're welcome to, because we're a time travel forum. Most if not all our members are adults, right? We're free to do and talk about whatever we want.
@TimeFlipper : Giving someone an advice (against Pegii's time travel ideas for instance), or inviting a grieving person to move on instead is one thing. What I see you doing recently, is repeatedly tearing appart some of our members' posts, especially Pegii's. Even though you don't agree with her/them, that doesn't entitle you to prevent her/them from having their discussions. Posting a few advice is fine: They will take it, or not. Past that, you have to step back and let them be, man.
Reminds me of that time we had a chat with Traveler Malaki during a chat event. You're free to believe him or not, but if you don't believe him, you don't have the right to ruin it for everyone else and prevent us from discussing with/about him.
At some point, people know what their options are and they're aware time travel might be a waste of time and energy... If they wish to keep going, it's their choice.
TL;DR version:
@Pegii and friends: Go ahead and discuss about changing the past. But don't advertise to grieving people that you can change/fix their past in ways they'll expect something out of it no matter what your intentions are. Okay? No false hope.
@TimeFlipper Let Pegii and everyone discuss whatever they want on the forum. If you spot something out of line like flat out advertising, as explained above, then report it, we'll handle it.
People are free to believe in what they want. We make them aware of the good and bad sides of a belief, but past that, it's up to them to make up their minds and go ahead.
