To my mind and many here (not according to the poll. There can be many to a minority) it is twisted information to lure. And yes...32 times I swung at it to get to the bottom of what might be an accurate view. And each time, it was dodged, (I also noticed that) or at the very most led to another lure of inaccurate information..again twisted to conform to the ideas being presented....So, this is my take on it. And 32 times, even though I found much of the material repulsive, (you still had to peak in that metaphorical top shelf magazine) and strewn with an "agenda"...that of the makings of a cult....did I say cult? Yes I did..A CULT...that, again in my mind was worthy of addressing. I didn’t see a cult in the making. The same charge has been levied to Project Camalot. Are we in a cult here? I don’t feel that. All I see is a geezer at a computer trying to explain his theory. Much like the rest of us expressing our whacked out ideas, theories, beliefs and eccentricities.

Have I done this to "protect" anyone? I'm not here to protect anyone. That is not my job. So "HOW DARE YOU" suggest that. I do however have the right to voice an opinion. And if my opinion is, that the first post is vulgar and laden with innuendo, then that is how I see it. I am not in the habit of hitting the report button. Reminds me of the school house tattle tale. And that is not something I would do. And I've seen many threads get shut down for much less. I see this a contradiction. If your opinion believes it to be a cult and YOU personally are not drawn to it as stated to by your objections. Why then keep going back to the metaphorical top shelf. I’m afraid this is a tad Marry Whitehouse. If you don’t need saving then who does. I'm drawn to conclude that its me, us, the community…what? What you for?

Now you imply that words cannot eat you, or distort you...well you might want to give that a second thought. As there are written words out there...much of it published..and ancient in fact that have distorted the whole world..and people have been following those words..and hanging on to those words for dear life. So think about that, and the effect that words used on that thread might sway someone to change their life for if they took it all in, and believed it all. I’m getting that save you vib again. A contradiction of the above paragraph. Seems to me that if you fear Abrax’s posts as distortion and leading people astray, you best being going head to head with the major religions and media. They do far worse than a disabled Australian man sat at a computer.

As for the sexual nature of the posts...well, again we are entitled to our opinion..and the rules of the forum stand. And here is a clue..it was not I that reported the sexual nature of the thread, or the harassment ...I was just pointing out the obvious. As you seemed to not be offended by it, I would include you as one of the ones that seemed titillated and lured by it. So without question you should go follow your dragon.
I neither agreed with Abrax’s theory, testimony or thought any of it titillating (not that that is reason for condemnation for the whole thread) but I believe he and you have a right to an opinion and free speech. What I cannot condone is your WILLINGNESS, your own free will, to go and read a thread that offends you…then have the gal to complain about it. Abrax didn’t force you to read it. I, we, they didn't force you to read it. In the same way that no one forces you to read top shelf magazines or watch late night cable porn. You, being of tender persuasion, have NOONE but yourself to blame for being offended. Metaphorically you opened the magazine. You watched the cable porn. THIS IS THE CRUX OF IT.
