Spirit picture!

My reason for not wishing to see it here are the same reasons for not wishing to see it on any other site, be it a believers or skeptics site. The original owner did not wish to see her pic elswhere. As the owner of that site I had a duty to respect her wishes and so did/

Regardless of its content, I am inclined to uphold the wishes of people should they so request it.

I myself have material that belongs to other sources. I am sure that other site owners will tell you that the protocol is to ask. If permission is refused then so be it. She refused as I did.

I tend to think the image is nothing more than poor digital photography with no paranormal evidence...or should I say I am certain it's not paranormal, not wishing to leave the door open for the skeptics to fry me for not totally ruling it out. ;)
 
phenomenon ....

BTW...I take back any anything i implied about your site being amateurish....

I visited it...

It is very professional, well done and informative...and, from what i can see, is doing very well indeed...

I was a bit shocked...

Nice one...

DB
 
Thank you DB...and I take back any uneccessary sarcasm.

It's still only a young site but it's getting there. ;)

Trying to run a site with believers and skeptics is no easy task, I have a duty to cater for their needs and interests. Some I find incredibly interesting, some I find downright hilarious. Either way they get to read their favourite topics regardless of my personal opinions.
 
Phenomenon...

Any sarcasm i get...99.9% of the time, i fully deserve...

Group hug anyone...

Yeh...

DB
 
Thanks for the explanation, phenomenon.

I'm in for the group hug.


:h2:

Awww, that's better.
 
Well I must say that being a new member on this site, I am terribly dissapointed with the childishness of the members here. I came on here to see some intelligent conversation and information. I happened along this thread, and decided to check it out. To see your joking regarding a person's picture, then your outrageous insistence that you should be able to show whatever you choose, even if the owner has refused permission that it be shown...well I find you quite a childish bunch indeed.
For a supposed "intellectually" enriched type of site...I find your attitude shameful.

At least your not judging the entire membership and content on one silly thread - that would be awfully childish and un-intelligent.

Perhaps you should add some, then :)

It's not as if there's anything here resembling evidence of "GHOSTLY PRESENCE" or a mentalist existence aside from pareidolia.

I don't know what was in the PM which prompted Darat to remove the picture, but all we have on this thread is a person claiming to own a picture which he admits was not taken by him.

I have to ask, how do we know who owns a digital picture?

I've tried to stay out of this argument, but there is an important point missing from the discussion.

This is a site for the discussion and critcial examination of paranormal claims. The photo included was claimed to show a ghost and was included on this site to discuss and critique those claims. Fair use allows copying of a work for criticism and discussion without requiring the permission of the owner of the copyright. I'm willing to bet that the publication of the photo in this instance falls well within the realms of Fair Use and thus no permission was necessary. As for the wishes of the owner of the photo, I suggest that if she didn't want to see it posted on another site, then she shouldn't have posted it to a publicly accessible website to begin with.

tsg,very wise words,and as someone who got banned from said forum for posting it on here-so it could be ridiculed apparently,although again if you didnt want ridicule dont put it on a website-but its my second time so not unexpected.
;)
 
Excellent post, tsg. Covered some of the things I was thinking quite well.

Well Kip, so far your first 4 posts have all been respondiong to Azrael. It appears that you joined solely to debate with him.

There of plenty of other interesting threadds on this site - perhaps if you have a look aroud you might find some that you prefer.

Or if you only came here to argue with Azrael then that's fine too. But you can't really then make generalisations about the site when you are only here because of a single poster.

I'm sure time will tell what your reasons are for visiting this site.
 
Im not argiung with kip,maybe they are SNW members.But you're right Ashles he seems to have it in for me!!
:D

Actually I was not resoponding to Azrael on this..I was responding to the posts in this thread.
To respond to your quote....yes I have stayed in this area of the forum, as this is as far as I have gotten on this site as time has permitted me...and here is where I began.
Whether I continue on depends on how interested I am in all of the other information I see here....which is a large amount! I will browse as I can...but I assure you that I have not come on here solely to "debate" with one person. And my comments were not aimed at one person either...were they?
So you can judge what I say or what I look at if you choose...but is that really necessary? Isn't this forum free and open to all who choose to register and look round? Is there some "rule" as to where I go and whom I respond to? And FYI....I apologise if I judged too quickly....as I think that I did.
 
kip can you explain the meaning of your sig to me?

I'm a bit confused by what you are saying :S

Quite simple really... just that there is more to believing in something than to simply pronounce the belief. Proof is helpful in the process.;)

but that is just my opinion......LOL
