I think I figured out why so many arguments occur here and why people keep pissing each other off.
It seems like people will post something only if they find something that they disagree with.
If a person agrees with a statement, it gets left alone. So, we mostly get negative feedback.
Maybe we should start giving more positive support to mitigate all the negativity here.
Why do so many of us do that? Maybe we find faults or weak spots because we search them out like system busters.
I don't find that. Most of the stuff I've read has been very positive (at least compared to other forums). And people here are really understanding and patient with social faux pas type comments/posts (which i do a lot, i think i have a problem with tone).
But it's really really nice to open up a topic with this title and read something like what you said *sends internet hug*

Here is something about Salvia Divinorum.

And here are some biblical references to psychedelics.

Maybe I should start a new thread on this, but better not.
It's not for everyone. If you are interested in it then you probably can tolerate this sort of mind expansion.
I've only done it a handful of times, but it was very therapeutic.
Don't try this if you are not extremely curious about the world and your place in it.
Thanks, interesting. Do you know www.ayahuasca.com and www.alexgrey.com ???

Someday I will try Ayahuasca and DMT. I'll need to prepare for that. 
I haven't heard of Alex Grey, but I am looking him up now. Thanks. And thanks for the hug too.
Oh, this is just getting to mushy now.

I disagree...
I try to post supportively as well as in disagreement but I'm probably more likely to post when I disagree...
I think it's just that we keep posting without thinking about eachother's feelings ...
and then the readers read too much between the lines.
If we could only agree that nobody was ever serious here - it might work.
I've noticed an increase in flaming lately though I'll have to admit that sometimes the people doing the flaming say things I feel like saying but don't out of courtesy. Is that bad? Is it the thought that counts?
If you do get flamed, sure - it's natural to be annoyed about it... but then think for a bit... does the flame really describe me? Is it something I could change? should I?
