The question of political / conspiracy theory content

It's kind of my earlier point. I mean weather modification is not some pie in the sky fantasy. It's big business and it's already happening all over the globe. What contrails might contain could be up for discussion but to say that contrails are some crazy nutter conspiracy theory only belies a lack of research. 

So where do we draw the line? What can and cannot be discussed? Is it "must have some relation to psi?"

I feel like Jkmac covered it pretty well?

Admittedly this is my (and I guess his) opinion, I don't demand anyone follow suit in their thinking.

Edited post #227 above Contrails to Chemtrails. Which I think is basically nonsense.

People typically videoing contrails in the sky over Scotland, and saying that they're Chemtrails, is nonsense. I'm not saying the military might not be interested in weather modification though, cloud seeding was carried out by friends of mine in South Africa, that's a long way from the videos I'm talking about above.

Umm. Everyone is interested in weather mod.

"These things have no place here. Full stop."

Such dogmatic opinions should be discouraged! 

Oh please.

I was trying to make a definitive point.

You are going to call that "dogmatic"?

So if we decide that this stuff is inappropriate to have on our site, that would be a point of dogma to you?

Oh boy.

You know what,,,,

this site is feeling just as dysfunctional as the last one.

I don't see this is an improvement at all.

I'll leave you folks to your little (and I DO mean little) discussions on this matter.

When you all decide the rules (excuse me, the dogma), I may drop in and say hello.

Let's see,,, given the glacial progress on an issue of this simplicity, I would say 6 months would be a good time to check back in and see if you've decided what ought to be and ought not to be included in discussions.

See you guys and gals in six months.

Best.

I don't think you're being fair here. Think about why we're having this conversation in public at all.

Oh please.

Oh FFS!! With sensitivity like this no-one can post anything at all critical.

Good grief. Grow the hell up!

They did use the smiley faced chompers icon. I thought they were being funny.

It was meant to be funny! With just a hint of seriousness.

As a measuring tool it may be useful to see the level that we find ourselves. I can see three options:

a) Yes
b) No
c) Only those relevant to consciousness

I would probably choose "c".

My main worry about those three options is that they split (between a and c) the "Yes" vote. I'd suggest instead that we have simply "Yes" and "No" options, and that if the majority of members vote "Yes", then we have a second poll with the various options, one of which would be "Only those relevant to consciousness".

Am very keen to resolve this issue as this discussion otherwise seems interminable and to be causing friction, so am going to set up this poll imminently.

OK, have set up the poll in this thread: POLL: should conspiracy theory / poltiical discussion be allowed on this forum?

Hopefully this brings us closer to closure - we really don't want folks leaving over this.
