Is it?JDBP wrote:And we all know why that is don't we!
er .... No, I don't think we do. Would you be so kind as to enlighten us?

I could, but that would be no fun would it.
I wonder if you can figure it out for yourself.

I have tried but - no. I really just don't understand what you're on about. Some sort of clue would be nice.

Almost biggotted against skeptics if you really think about it.
Two Worlds was - when I was a subscriber - very much Spiritualism focused, even if that was often of the sometimes-distant past. It would be nice to see PN returning to a similar focus under Tony's leadership but unless there is more Spiritualist news to report then things may not change much.Candlelight.kk wrote:JDBP wrote:Shame that this rag is so one sided and refuses to even discuss the idea of holding an alternative view to the agenda that they push.

Well, I can't say whether or not that may have been the case in the past, but certainly the existing editor, Roy Stemman, is very much a skeptic himself and open to exploring matters of Spiritualism, in particular, from all available angles and reporting and publishing such from a fair and balanced perspective.
Of course, once Psychic News and Two Worlds are amalgamated, Roy will no longer be editor; the June edition is the last issue of Psychic News as a magazine on its own & edited by Roy Stemman - but I imagine he will still have a lot to do with the publication in its new format.
I wonder what they are going to call the new amalgamated version.

Haven't you ever worried why these types of publications aren't desperate to speak to me? To try and change my mind?
On the other hand, perhaps you have already tried, and perhaps he does know who you are, and that favoured quote of yours might be something that he goes along with also - i.e. 'You are the one that has the problem - not him.To quote a great leader

I can speak only for myself in response to such daft questions and reply "No, I haven't ever worried about such trivia." I doubt anyone else has either! LOL
laugh out loud indeed!

lol - No, I can't say it's something that has had me losing any sleep with worry.
What on earth is the matter with you? A flea in your bonnet now about why the editor of Psychic News hasn't been in touch with you personally to ask for your opinion on matters of mediumship/spiritualism?
If it means that much to you, there is nothing stopping you contacting the publication with your views or questions or whatever it is you have in mind. You just go through the normal process like everyone else.

Why on earth would anyone be bothered to ask any questions of you when they know (100% lol) that all they are going to get from you is the same old tunnel-visioned mantra repeated down through the years. One really doesn't need to be psychic to predict the outcome of any such discussion.

But alas it is time to go now.
Feel free to keep abusing me, if it gives you motivation to keep posting, then it is all good.
And for those that have any vague interest in chatting to me, do a bit of research and you shall surely find the ONLY real place I post that guarantees the real me on the other end of the internet machine.

FAO JDBP : - Stooping a bit low there, even for you! Something else you may or may not know about me ... I can speak AND read a conversational amount of Arabic, enough to be able to decipher that sneaky little troll-like message you dropped in there at the end of that post!
Did you really think you could get past me with such a low-down trick???

Yes laugh out loud, please do.
Now consider this, I published an article a couple of months ago, that article has had over 180,000 views.
That is more people than read the psychic news, by a long long way. And that is just one article.
So if you want to build your readership, and you happen to cover a really niche subject like spiritualism etc, Then wanting me on your side from a business point of view makes sense.
My site is the UK BIGGEST and most read site on this subject from a skeptical point of view.
But you keep laughing out loud, and while you do, the psychic news will continue to decline, lose readers and die a slow painful death.

LAUGH OUT LOUD AND SHIDAD
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egal_ShidadEgal Shidad is a folk hero that was known as the brave coward. From Somalia, Egal Shidad was known for his dislike of wild animals and his inability to take risks. Like many Somali people, Shidad was a nomadic herder of camel and sheep.

SHIDAD - or just shidad - is used in a similar way to LOL - Laugh Out Loud. (or, sometimes somewhat confusingly, 'Lots Of Love'!
We had a member on one of my other websites who routinely signed off in that way until one of the others pointed out its regular meaning - I think she was very embarrassed when she learned how LOL was usually used.Misty wrote:mac wrote:

The first time I saw LOL typed somewhere it was at the end of a sms on my phone --- i thought it was short for Lots Of Love and still thought it for a long time after. Could be quite embarrasing that!
