If this was a Hollywood romcom, Tim and Linda would (literally) bump into each other at an NDE conference... with hilarious consequences.

If this is just about me, then don't twist yourselves in a knot trying to come up with a policy just to muffle me. 

Linda

Oh spare us Linda. When will you tire of playing victim? Yes, people here who have been around for a long time on Skeptiko are very wary of you and, in my opinion, rightly so but you were nevertheless allowed to join this forum and have not had any posts deleted as far as I'm aware. In fact the mods have been careful to point out that any criticism of you should only be posted in a forum where you are able to defend yourself.
I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension.

Not even a little bit. If someone chooses to claim expertise in an area, that's their decision. Someone who is an expert could contribute just as well here without saying they're an expert... the value obviously comes from what they say and how they go about it, not the fact that they're an expert. How would anything said here keep those with knowledge and experience away? It's their decision to say if they are an expert or not, and their input can be of value without them saying so.

I'm not sure how you concluded that this meant people with knowledge and experience be kept away.

Does the forum have a policy on self-abuse?

My guess is no if it's kept a private activity. That reminds to turn off my webcam.

I've repeatedly asked members (in the past) what is MU ? Is it a person, a virus, a cult ? Pssssst ! Do you know ?

Never ask.
