My Problem with the "Beyond Dreaming" Forum
Although I don't visit this site as much as I used to, I do come back to browse the beyond dreaming section, as I find it interesting. Yet, it seems every thread that is started for specific discussion on a topic just ends up becoming a debate over whether the phenomenon exists or not. This is not the purpose of this section, as is stated in the sticky:

'Beyond Dreaming' was not created for debate, but rather, it exists for members who believe in the sort of topics that fit into its scope (such as OBEs, dream precognition, astral projection, etc.) to have peaceful discussions amongst themselves. [/b]
Debate is fine, but only apropriate when it was the origional goal of the thread starter. If not, then dissenting views can be put in a new thread, created specifically for debate. Hopefully if people can have a little respect then discussions can make it past fledgeling stages without being shot down and trampled.

I must agree with you to some degree.
The problem....Hundreds of different views, opinions, beliefs and ideas. I to get aggravated trying to make a point and see it go astray as they often do.
Ignore the response or rebuke it. Don't get muddle up in a segment of the conversation that you, the author feels that it is not on the issue that you are trying to address.
