The question of political / conspiracy theory content

Hmm, I don't seem to be able to vote on the poll. Anybody else having this problem?

Ah, nevermind, it was because I'd set the thread's status to "Closed". Should be working now.

Clicking the results button shows you voted. Which reminds me, can voters' usernames be made private for MyBB polls? If not, I doubt you'll get enough votes for a meaningful outcome.

We have discussed Aquino in the past, but I think that is relevant in a discussion on magic. But participants should be careful to use the same language as any normal publication. If someone is accused, but not convicted, then that is an important distinction. Rumors alone probably don't need to be discussed.

I don't have any interest in have a separate forum for politics or CT. But I do want to be able to have threads that might touch on MKULTRA, UFOs, MILAB and the possibility of matrix style control systems.

I DO NOT want to discuss 9/11, global warming science, JFK, Trump or globalist politics.

I don't think anyone is saying any psi-related (incl. UFOs) CTs would be off the table, and they could be discussed in the relevant subforums.

Yeah. I think we have nailed that pretty hard. Tongue

Do you think so? It seems nobody in this thread has been shy in presenting their views publicly! But yes, they can be made private - and I'll do that now.

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.

I see a problem with this. Those who want to say No but feel they would say Yes to "only those relevant to consciousness" could end up saying Yes, when they want to say No.

Sorry to make your life harder, Laird. Wink

Sorry Chuck. I'm responding to earlier posts without reading what followed. Impulsive of me.

Hmm. Perhaps you're right. OK, I'll add that option in.
