Say someone did claim to be able to levitate. There's no reason you couldn't stand on the floor and try it for yourself.
What I'm trying to say is that for everything there's two sides. Someone who believes and someone who doesn't. You take both into consideration and decide for yourself. After all, there are many people who would say the Jedi beliefs, ideas, and even this site is a bunch of nonsensical garbage. Does that mean I have to immediately disown the Jedi ideas?

I will not be able to defend them without causing a community wide argument and debate, this is something best done in private unless you want a 400 page debate on your hands with the whole community up in arms over it.

No offense Maynoth but everything you've shared with me has hardly been that dramatic to cause an uproar, I don't see any problem with the "400 page debate" after all what's to stop Ren or anyone else from "posting" what you share in private?
I think that's a good idea...the constant discussion in PM is a negative idea as it can be seen as a "divide and conquer" technique.

I don't think so.
Nothing about testing this out for yourself requires you put yourself in danger.
Well perhaps danger of changing your worldview and paradigms, but nothing else.

I'd hope they wouldn't as usually I ask people to keep it private for this reason.
Most people I discuss this with refuse to examine any of the evidence anyway and just TLDR it.

I hate trying to have a one on one discussion publiclly...
Too many others chime in, causing detailing, and multiple angles of attack...
It is hard to defend when there are multiple angles of attack, not impossible, but harder...
Makeca post, go to bed, 3 pages of stuff to go through and respond....
Then, right after you click submit, there's 4 more...
Its why I stay outta the big threads... and few read?every post, lol...
Part of Maynoths problem, forgive me Maynoth, is he takes every opportunity to spout off about it...
Its sorta like the words in our signatures, just gloss over them...
On walk-about...
Sith ain't Evil...
Jedi ain't Saints....
