So, I'm curious as to why this is a strange category?

It happens that while I am not wiccan, I am pagan, I do follow close to the same tenants of that religion. Now, I'm not going to try to start a flame war, but I am greatly offended by this post. You can find christian and bhuddist religious articles on there as well, why are they not considered "Crazy"? Simply because they are considered to be "normal" religions??

Filburt, as a respected member of the vbulletin.org community and one of it's moderators, I am greatly disappointed that you would start this thread. I point you to the forum rules (you should know them by heart as a Moderator.):
Quote:
4) It does not flame, insult, belittle or put down any person.
Now don't get me wrong, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and that is fine by me. That is their right, and I spent seven years of my life defending that right for everyone in the US Army, so I stand by it. But sometimes it is better to keep quite about one's opinions.

One never knows who is listening.

Thanks for the rant though. If you wish to continue this thread, that is your perogative, but understand that I will not sit quietly without letting you all know the "other" side of the coin.

Well it was only inevidable somebody would say that...my point is people are paying for psychic readings, among other things, which always carry the amusing disclamer "for entertainment purposes only." Did I mention any religion? The category says "metaphysical", nothing more.

actually, about 85% of it is religious supplies. Thus my take on the thread.

Although I agree with you on the stupidity of some folks with those readings (which they are, one should never have to pay for a reading), I should point out that one should truly make the point known first hand. My hackles would not have been raised had you made your point in your first post instead of just posting the link.

The words, "Think before you speak" comes to mind.

Thanks for your time as always.

Enjoy
