Subject/Title TOS: about the crazy talk and what is deemed crazy

Skinner: I think it is obvious that the TOS is referring to kooky conspiracy theories involving the Freemasons.

> The TOS mentions Freemasons, what exactly is crazy about a fraternal organization?
>
> I am an AMORC Rosicrucian student / member, does that imply that I am also considered a crazytowner??
>
> Is Mysticism also off limits? Or is it only allowed in the different groups on spirituality?
>
> How will I know whether or not I would be considered crazy by my belonging to a fraternal organization?
>
> If someone is a Freemason does that mean that they are not allowed to talk about being a Freemason or Freemasons in general?
>
> Just thought I should ask for clarification on what is considered crazy talk or crazytown.
>
>
> Look forward to your response.
>

> Best Regards,

I understand how the TOS reads as if we are not wanted here. However, I believe that the admins just don't want DU to be viewed as a place that condones Conspiracies Theories. Having interests in Mysticism, Astrology, and the Super Natural is not CT material. I haven't sent much time posting as you are well aware of my reasons for being apprehensive in doing so. However, if I feel inclined to do so I will always have that chance.

I hope you will reconsider your position and stick around. But I value whatever decision you make, and perhaps we can still communicate through email or Wishadoo.

Take Care my Friend.
