If jskains is sincere about having a substantive argument to make, he can try it in Celestial. I promise not to come up there and poke fun at him if he does.

But anyone who can respond to the gentle, peaceloving and scholarly Chris Smith the way he did a few posts ago is probably not to be taken seriously.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

Boy is that a logical fallacy.

I am sure you are unable to tell the difference.

May I suggest The Celestial Forum? It'll save you the trouble of creating your own board.

The reason I don't post is because there is no integrity here.

You don't post?

Every time I try to say something, it is drowned out by attacks, mockery, and rhetoric, and I struggle to get heard above the noise.

You aren't heard?

Might want to work on weeding out the spambots.

And? If you notice it is already cleared out.

Was this some dramatic reveal or something?

No, I was just surprised that you already had several members signed up.

Then I noticed they are all spambots.

By the way, Josh, I've tried to engage you in a substantive way several times over on Celestial, and you don't appear to be interested. Chris Smith has made a good faith effort to interact with you here, but you appear to be unwilling or unable to respond in kind.

You are correct that a lot of your contributions do tend to invite some dismissive remarks along with abrupt rebuttals. I can totally understand how it would feel like every time you try to say something, you're drowned out by attacks, mockery, and rhetoric.

At the same time, you seem to eagerly respond to posts that treat you like a petulant child, and ignore posts that treat you like an intelligent adult. So what do you expect?
