[QUOTE="Negan, post: 193185, member: 10257"] I 100% agree. I haven't been on very much, so I'm not sure to which threads / posts you're talking about. I don't know the circumstances either. However, I don't think the admins and mods are against pointing out fallacies, but it may be pertinent to watch how you point those out. Again, haven't seen your posts but can only assume the mods found them grating in one way or another. This and many forums like it have less than honest members. Many will use anyway they can to convince others of their credibility or to attach a sense of credence to themselves, or what idea they're pushing. My main issue is, many claim to have some extraordinary power to see into the future and have evidence of said ability yet provide no proof and instead, tell you to take their word for it. When called out, they'll just go into defense mode (typical of liars) and play it off. If you did in fact post reasonable exchanges of your dismay, pointing out fallacies and the mods deleted them for less than stellar reasons, then I say shame on you mods. We need credibility. Paranormal believers already get the short end of the stick as it is. Mixing liars into the mix with nonsense stories further damage us all. [/QUOTE]
