The world - by which I mean both this Earth, [its] containing universe, and all realms beyond where afterlives take place - is too vast to expect ourselves to be free of error.

Sometimes all one can do is try and practice self-reflection with a dose of self-forgiveness.

Thanks, it is nice to be back!

I'd like to put in a plea for Vortex. If he is right and all he did was to discuss paedophilia, I think he should come back also. I mean, anyone can discuss murder, but it doesn't mean he should be treated as a murderer! I HATE the idea of paedophilia, but I have talked to him by email, and he confirmed that he only discussed it in the abstract.

Vortex already defended paedophilia on the Skeptiko forum and it seems that he has continued similar behavior here. Good riddance.

OK - fair enough - I am happy with Laird's decision.
