Because sometimes I get involved in good discussions, as recently with Bernardo. It has also happened with David Bailey, Interesting Ian, the member who convinced me that strong emergence is probably incoherent, LoneShaman, and others. I'm also interested in some of the topics, such as the AWARE study.But your intentions still aren't clear to me. You're obviously not well liked here, your opinion gets junked or ignored the second you post it, and when you get banned, you come crawling back to the forum within minutes. Don't you have anything better to do that to spend time on a forum that clearly values your opinion as less than dirt? Why not just go join an atheist circlejerk forum?
Yeah, I'm sure that I'm the big contributor to whining around here. Oh please give us a forum without any proponents!And on top of that, you make threads and posts to whine and complain like some 4 year old child to a forum that would love nothing more than for you to never post here again. Maybe you should find a hobby or something?
I don't understand. Then stop whining and leave! Apparently the administration of this forum doesn't enjoy the company of your type. No one is forcing you to be here. If you like the interesting convos you've had here then shut up and follow the rules.Because sometimes I get involved in good discussions, as recently with Bernardo.

Exactly! There's already like 5 forums where skeptics dominate the moderation and tone. Most parapsychology forums are dominated by super new agers who don't want to discuss the science or disagree with the assumptions that can be made from the data. If it was meant to be a 50/50 affair between proponents and skeptics, then we would have to limit the amount of each group to 50/50 proportions. But based on paul/really/arouets/Lindas amount of dislikes, disagrees, and general downvotedness, it's clear the vast majority of people on this forum do not appreciate their presence.In the interest of fairness, and good humor, perhaps we should have a subforum for strictly mind=brain discussions, or a mod- prefix.
But then again, in the interest of saving time, there's already the JREF forums...

I'm not sure how this follows from what I said. I gave you reasons why I don't want to leave. I am following the rules, to the best of my ability to understand what is clearly an arbitrary set of them. For example, I'm not posting anywhere but in this forum until someone announces what the new rules are.I don't understand. Then stop whining and leave!

I don't know what you think you are explaining, so I can't answer this. Perhaps if you linked to one of the whining threads that I supposedly started?How am I seriously having to explain this to a man that's almost triple my own age?
It's like posting on a basketball forum that football is better, and being a top poster.
Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure there's an alternative hypothesis that could explain those particular stats.
Can you guess what it is? :)
I'm open to the possibility that mind /= brain. But apparently the rule is that I have to act like I accept it.You know guys, all you really need to be able to post anywhere on this forum, is a serious openness to the possibility that mind is not brain, or that some ψ phenomena might be real, or that NDE's might be more than some utterly obscure phenomenon created by dying neurons!
Why not? After all, if you have an open mind, you might learn something. You only have to be open to the possibility, after all. :)For anybody who fails that test - I can't understand why they even want to be here! I mean, I don't post on Christian forums, or flat earth forums, or whatever.

..based on paul/really/arouets/Lindas amount of dislikes, disagrees, and general downvotedness, it's clear the vast majority of people on this forum do not appreciate their presence.
If that assumption was correct, with a negative rating of -59 votes, presumably this would indicate that the vast majority of people on this forum do not appreciate your presence either?
Yes, it seems Iyace's negative ratings just exploded all of a sudden. Is this the result of one member? A rosebudding phenomenon?Call me a skeptic but I find it a little odd that his negative vote exactly cancels out his positive (+59 and -59) and that the same figure is the negative score for Paul (at least as I write this).
