Nail on head GNC, but I don't think it's helped by posters spamming tabloid ghost pics and the last two pages here reflect a similar "debate" that I was engaged in back in May.
On this board I think most of us enjoy a good anomaly. You can tell the good ones as the provoke debate as people try to figure out what they are seeing. It's like IHTM when we offer our opinions of some strange incident that has occured to a poster.
People get upset when they've posted something that other people reject, particularly if folk start teasing the poster. I get that and will be mindful of that in future.
If I think though that a photo of a ghost is someone dressed in a sheet or a trick of the light that doesn't make me a debunker, a sceptic, or nasty or on the wrong forum. It just means that I can see it isn't a ghost.
I don't get the idea that just because that spirit staring out of a window is in fact a curtain that I've lost the Fortean Moral Highground somehow?
Particularly when the poster takes offense and withdraws from debate then how can we debate a photos authenticity? I mean that sort of goes against the whole point of us being here?
I don't know what to suggest to be honest, I adore ghost pics and have since I was little, but I think this thread has lost it's purpose.
When the poster finds someone following them on a "its not what you think it is George" spree around the forum, you dont get upset, you get angry - you start to feel singled out. Especially when that someone then teams up with his long term friend here (not GNC) to follow me around the forum having their fun and liking each others often cold replies to my posts.
I may be wrong but it seems to always be me in the ghost thread that gets singled out by at least 3 long term members ...whilst other posters dont receive the same treatment. Many others here view my posts and then share an interest or simply move on. So I must be doing something right here. So I hope that your not pointing a finger at me Felid with regards to your assumption that this thread has lost it purpose.
Thats all, your back on IGNORE. Who knows, we may chat again maybe in the summer of 2016
