Speaking of harassment, we have a dandy example on the "Help, I'm Being Stalked" thread, complete with 3rd-party exegesis and associated-sweeping-under-the-rug.

It's entertaining, in this light, that "Babooshka" should have been the one who asked "Why are people leaving/getting bored/getting disgusted?" Physician, heal thyself. I'm leaving because you disgust me, at least as a proximate cause.

After providing my thoughts on this thread, I've made an effort over the past few weeks to see whether continuing contributions would yield any positive results. They have not. This thread died. The LBRP thread went nowhere. Other threads here have been pretty much utter wastes of electrons. Enough's enough.

I'd say give me a call if anyone ever decides to discuss magick in any sort of substantive way around here, but I don't much see the point. Pretty much anyone capable's already taken off.

Have fun painting symbols you copied out of some book (but don't understand) onto your floor, posting pictures of doggies and discussing whether anyone here knows anything about "REAL LIFGE".

How does a discussion work?

I'm a placid guy normally, but what the fuck is Stone Mirror's problem? I thought half of magick was to do with your sense of humour - you know, the whole idea of banishing with laughter? If discussing magick in any substantive way consists of po-faced chin-stroking, and an utterly humourless approach to whatever anyone else has to say, then count me out. I also really dislike this arrogant approach to age that's been doing the rounds on the site as a whole recently - "I'm 25, so I've been doing magick far longer than you and obviously have a bigger claim to it" - "I'm in my fifties and have been doing everything longer than you have" - "I've been practicing magick since I was three, and obviously am a greater adept than you". I just have to say, we're not talking about fucking bands here! No one has a bigger claim to what we're talking about here than anyone else - and although I admit that discussion takes some frivolous routes sometimes, that's half the fun. Because that's what all this is supposed to be - fun. If it's not sewrious enough for you, then I'm sorry, but you've been wasting most of your time for years. It's serious all right, but just not in the way that you think. So take care, and enjoy.
