I always figured that skeptics were welcome on this site, but there is no need to get bent out of shape about it.
I'd like to hear from both sides but only in a civil way.
Perfectly according with what you wrote, 'cause only the civil way can open eyes and minds to a better future. There is non need to insult or kidding or other, and this in regards to both sides. Being skeptik doesn't means the need to insult or play or kidding someone that had a strange experience, but in same time it is useful for both understanding what happened, why it happened and if it possible to reply it...
As example we have today the LHC in Ginevra: many scientist are saying it can be dangerous but no one is insulting or kidding those are making the experiment.
When a person "get bent out of shape about it" is simply because his/her mind can't understand and the person is "too late" (life we are living does this effect to many peoples), so the only way he/she can see is the opposing with screaming or saying "you're crazy" etc. I passed this with some friends of mine, but today some of them follow what I do and their interests are very high! Why do they came to this side?
