- Timing, timing, is so important here. If I wrote that, it was at a

- Well, certainly, I always feel that disagreements are in perfect order.
-
- Well, I did ask for people to tell how they felt about that issue,
- Twitch. Steve Reiser, sir@srv.net, is not the only one who feels
- certain ways about the issue.
-
- You can look at the postings of so many people who are tired of reading
- "anti-paranormal" things, examine how many people signed that little
- petition I wrote, and all that is in the USENET ARCHIVES.
-
- As one example, to find out what people think, writing a posting like
- this, and then asking people to post, those who frequent alt.paranormal
- and similar newsgroups, as PRO (not ANTI), about how they feel about
- the presence of ANTI postings from the "skeptics."
-
- I made a suggestion in 2 parts. It did not advocate banning "skeptics"
- from alt.paranormal. I suggested that "skeptics" find a way to voice
- their opinions on alt.paranormal in a way that doesn't set so many
- people off.
-
- Wording on the SUBJECT is something like:
-
- SUGGESTIONS for "SKEPTICS"
-
- It was in 2 parts.
