Hi Matthew and all,

You know this entire event could have been avoided had Linn chosen to work things out with Craig months ago.  She had the opportunity to do so, however, she chose not to do that.   

I saw Craig's initial posts on the medium thread and yes they were against posting guidelines of this forum.  I sent a pm to Craig myself and suggested he either edit or delete them.  He chose not to do that.   

You know that Craig and I are friends, however, I stand behind what Allan did.  This in my opinion is not censorship.  It is responsible moderation of this or any other forum that has specific rules.

You know as well as I do that this forum has been a "free for all" in the past.  I for one am glad to see that it is now being moderated and something being done about posts that do not conform to posting guidelines.

So what you're saying is that Bruce is just out to make money? Doesn't he have a right to make a living like everyone else? I know for a fact that authors don't make that much off of each book.

What about all the good he does. If he didn't do anyone any good, why are all of you here?  I thought everyone was here to learn about the afterlife but I guess I'm delusional. I guess it's called afterlife-knowledge.com just for the hell of it.

For me the problem isn't with the thread being removed. If it was indeed going against guidelines then so be it. My problem is with people being singled out for all to see. I feel that is very disrespectful, immature and rude. I for one will absolutly not stick around if that type of thing happens again.

But what about the other offensive post that don't meet the guidelines. Why are they still on the board?  Why were post left on when other people used the 'peer moderator' and they posted that nothing was done about it.  Why is Spitfire's post about his experience with this physic glossed over and the whole point missed? Shoving this issue to the basement isn't going to solve anything. It needs to be addressed honestly from the moderator and administrator of this message board. If you want the guidelines to be applied, then they need to be applied to EVERYONE!

Craig,

I have recently been privately alerted to another worthless session with the medium in question.  That victim decided not to complain publicly.   But mediums should be upfront about their limitations demonstrated by their spotty track record.  I myself have had many clairvoyant experiences involving others, including several death premonitions that came true.  But I've also been mistaken; so I'm reluctant to risk upsetting others, given my occasionally false insights.  

I've also experienced both miraculous answers to prayer and heart-breaking disappointments in prayer.   When I share in depth my insights on prayer with honest seekers, I eventually like to share my disappointments as well.  Otherwise, frustrated seekers might imagine there is something inferior about their quest in comparison with mine.  I am no Jesus.  Therefore, if I lovingly and honestly presume to teach others, I must encourage them to learn from my mistakes and shortcomings as well as my successes.

Craig,  I'll miss your refreshing posts.   True, your passionate spiritual quest sometimes finds expression in blunt remarks.   But you are one of those rare individuals who is really open to a belief system crash.  Such radical openness is eventually very stressful and makes one emotionally raw at times.   In such circumstances, it is understandable that you strive to be bluntly honest.  But you need to remind yourself of an important fact: on both this site and the other site in question, you are dealing with a New Age ghetto mentality and all of the unrecognized pressures for conformity that this entails.   Thank God, there are now some exceptions to that rule on this site.   In my view, there are two important lessons for you to take away from this unpleasant  experience.  (1) Genuine openness is often feigned but rarely realized.  (2) You need to take satisfaction in your courage to doubt, especially your courage to doubt your doubts.  I hope you find a spiritual quest board that is more open to the rough and tumble verbal jousting that a boxer like yourself understandably prefers.  Yes folks, Craig really is an amateur boxer.

Best wishes,
Don
