Put 'em all on an island?
Honestly, I don’t think that it is needed. As one of the “psychic” group, I see no real need to form another section to discuss issues that “psychics” are not the ones to raise here in the first place. The tension comes from thread started by “non psychic” posters, and posts about “psychics” made by “non psychic” posters. To me it appears that the idea of as separate section is being asked for in hopes that this group will go there, and the other group will be free to discuss them without their posting disagreement. And if they should happen to post, they can be told to go to their own area, much as it was suggested by these same people that I, and people who disagree with them, find another place other than the Café to post. When you start talking about “psychics” you are not talking about an abstract group, you are talking about real people, with real feelings, that get tired of being ridiculed, belittles, and called thieves. Might I suggest them when reading some of these threads, substitute the label of another minority group in the place of “psychic.” See if you would feel comfortable reading it in public. So, do we need another place for the minority group to go so that they can be talked about here, or do we just need to learn to control ourselves a little better and behave like people?

There are also a few gray areas. For example, where would a question about Q and A go? In "penny" if there's a gimmick involved and in "psychic" if there isn't?
Sounds complicated. The endless arguments about disclaimers e.t.c. are getting pretty boring though. |

Hmm... seems to me a psychic forum just adds more as no one has to get "stuck" there like the Phantom Zone...
I also noticed this is causing heated statements and labelling people 'Psychic' vs 'Non psychic'... Let me put it this way - Entity has some great points - Tony has great points... to me, in the end, each individual will be judged by their actions versus their title... (yeah I'm an optimist).... A mentalist can be a con artist A Psychic can be trying to heal Its all about context. I thought the "Spoon for Bending" Forum might deal with presentation angles, how to use oracular systems, reports of Fortean events... y'know - fun interesting stuff.... The Penny can become the Add a Number, Billet, etc. area... Personally, I love the SPOOKY forum so in the end, it doesn't matter... Other idea: Threads that derail into ethics and stuff maybe should just be moved to the Right and Wrong Forum like they did the Criss Angel stuff to the Names in the Media forum to help promote traffic in the R&W section... Maybe. Just a thot...

Where would I be "allowed"?
entity - you've seen a tiny bit of my work, you know I don't claim to be psychic... so, even though I like exploring the ideas and capabilities of what psychic may be; I also enjoy the psychological methodology and the good old school techniques.. by old school, I don't mean old, old school of the spiritualist/victorian pseudo and/or fake psychic, I mean in the teddie/al(s)/chan/and so on methods... I like to dip a toe (i have plenty) into each and see what I like, enjoy and feels right for me...after I learnt the basics, I actually started pretty much leaning to a bizarrist kinda set...i had a small wooden chest (made breathing difficult at times) full of "curiosities" that folks could pull out, I'd tell the story behind it and go from there... I mean, even Chan Canasta studied the occult and ESP... who has the right to say where anyone belongs? and please - don't read what I've written in an agressive tone....
I've asked to be banned

I was answering the question that you asked for feedback on. If you want a yes or no response and don’t want anyone to express or clarify their view - then my answer is yes. If I’m not allowed to clarify my view when someone accuses me of being disrespectful, then I suppose there can’t be any sort of discussion to take part in at all. In any event, I don’t appreciate your accusing me of disrespect when I’ve done nothing but participate in the discussion at hand - in the thread you yourself started. Holly

Hello again:
Holly, I meant not to disrespect the purpose of this thread. Abraxus: With a new forum, as I've said many times, anyone could go wherever they chose to go, just as they do now. The ONLY difference would be that those with a psychic bent, interest, predeliction wouldn't be derailing threads here, and those who think differently about things than those interested in the psychic field wouldn't be able to upset their threads. Arguments might not cease entirely, but it would seem to me to be a start. Has anyone said: "Put 'em all on an island?" It's that kind of muck-raking statement that starts arguments. You know for a fact that no one has said any such thing. You make such statement purely to enflame the situation further, to try to close down this thread. To equate psychics with minority groups who have been persecuted merely for your own selfish purposes of shutting down this thread and silencing another point of view is contemptible. - entity.

What if one wants to discuss Ted's stuff as a for instance?
In truth I am what he started and that is not in line with this forum if the other forum were here. (I am talking of the Jinx not the castrated/edited work/book most here recomend) Now might it not be better to have a mental magic forum. A place for something less than Ted would do in his own performance. Same with some of the stuff Tony put forth. Just an idea. J ack H.o.A-X

That's something for the mods to decide, I suppose.
I have to leave, unfortunately, as I find the discussion revealing, to say the least. Most interesting thread to happen here in a while. I've made my suggestions, and I hope people will consider them and implement them. If not, things will continue on as they do now. Best of luck to all. - entity
