No thanks. I prefer to research cults and snake oil salesmen and post the information in the appropriate group.

DU skeptics have always prided themselves on our open door policy while posters in the astrology group prefer to ban any and all dissent/ers.

We've discussed this subject before and most skeptics decided that we didn't need another echo chamber on DU and we were not afraid to have our ideas chall... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/beam me up scottie/228 Sun, 15 Mar 2009 14:13:08 Your posts in this group are some of the most irrational I've ever seen. They are funny though, I'll be laughing at them for months, just like I enjoy all of the other responses to your rambling, semi-coherent, irrational, sanctimonious self-righteous lectures:
