Of course it is true and learning the history of magic is important, in all of it's forms.

"...The innuendo I made in that post was reprehensible and I expect that I will be deservedly crucified for posting it.

But you know what?

As bad as it may sound, right now it brings a smile to my face to know that Andrew xxxxxx was beaten into submission by someone he seriously believes is a moron and an idiot. Someone he believes is far below his own level of intelligence. And it's even funnier that he didn't have the smarts to check the IP's before he took action.

And Andrew? For the record, my membership number in Mensa is 1061061, so I don't really qualify as a moron or idiot...."

-Steven Youell, aka Jerry Lukins

Nice guy.

The full apology can easily be found with a quick search on the net.

Besides the fact that this is a nonsense thread, I note that K2K (that's Keys to the Kingdom) still hasn't been produced. Hmmmmm. How long has it been? Take the Pledge, boys. Take the Pledge.

I don't understand how Stevens actions have anything to do with the pledge itself. It is an idea. Whether he followed the idea himself does not disqualify it.

I have heard that Steven had a some type of a mental breakdown, even a mental illnes that suddendly surfaced. Does anyone have more information about this?

Come on, you've been lurking around here for long enough to know the d***ed story. In fact you've commented in a few threads about Steven and it's getting really old. Grow up, okay? Oh, and The Pledge doesn't prevent commenting on obvious s*** stirring which it seems you are doing.

I think The Pledge (why is it capitalized?) is inane.

What is wrong with just telling the truth?

I know I am new, but what the hell?

I believe the intent of this thread is to remind to treat others with respect. Nothing wrong with telling the truth, but the criticism can be constructive.

This should be a given, but unfortunately this hasn't been the case and this place has seen a lot of great people leave because of it.

I think a certain wise man named Spongebob Squarepants said it best when he said "don't be a jerk".

This thread was/is just laughable when one of the main transgressors to 'the pledge' was the OP himself.

Here what I wrote on this very same thread a few years back:

'I find this thread naive. In any case the Café has an etiquette we all implicitly agree to when we join and it says among other things:

"However, like a real Café, we do expect you to act like ladies and gentlemen and show good manners and courtesy while visiting. Thank you."

That surely should be enough to diffuse most issues. Taking another pledge is not going to make any difference - I bet.'

I added the pledge to my signature early on and it really has helped to remind me not to get into emotional one on ones with people. I still will debate and argue my point but I always consider the other readers and not just that one guy who may have pushed my buttons.

It appears that Steven Youell will be doing an online lecture at the Magician's Forum soon.
