While I can appreciate your attempt here to enlighten the previous
poster and clear up some Wiccan and Pagan confusion,
[snip]

look the aolhell screwed up what was meant to go to an individual NOT the list for one.

[snip]
this list IS FOR
THE SHADOWRUN ROLEPLAYING GAME. PLEASE refrain from continuing to
[snip]

if correct presentation is to exsist in a world that we individaully create based closely
upon most of reality as we know it, then religion will ocassionally be part of the mix
whether it is liked by all or not. I found the first part of that stream interesting, as
I and my fellow gamers do use religion in our game. Now all I can say is some of the
other tripe on the list does not seem to apply to Shadowrun to me, but others do find it
relevant for them, so please realize this is a list for everyone and as such will need to
encompass many perspectives to be both enjoyable and useful to all.

[snip]
incite what has already been a massive waste of the list's time; take
your personal beef over this topic SOMEWHERE ELSE, or DROP IT. You are
making yourself look like an ass, not that your "competition" isn't.

Making authoritative statements about Wicca and Paganism (religions so
scattered and syncretistic as to make them practically without
definition in the first place) is stupid, plain and simple. Arguing

As a multi-published pagan author I can claim a wee bit more authority than the average
pagan off the street. If you read what I posted. It was a suggestion at a general
perspective refocusing and siting examples. It was not he/she is wrong and I am right.
It was a request to correct for a better generality that would be useful in presentation
and also could be useful to gamers if they wanted to bother to include more close to real
world paganism in their games.


[snip]
over whether or not there are "Satanic" Wiccans, Pagans, etc. is
foolish because certainly, somewhere, someone claims to be both Wiccan
or Pagan -and- Satanic.
[snip]

I never bothered to comment upon this because it was already well covered.

[snip]
And to continue to deliberate on which of you
pagans is more "wise" is so off-topic this point as to make my eyes
hurt watching it.
[snip]

You too have the mighty delete button. USE IT! And I never claimed to be wiser. I just
stated that by the long list of sample folks that I have run into not all Wiccans are what
the conversator in question was passing them off to be. Again back towards a better real
world perspective.

I am sending this to the main list as well, because I am tired of being lambasted and I
think some of what is here will clarify my point of view. Thanks for your patience.

Brightest Blessings,
Tinne (female)

P.S. I will work on the formatting. I have not posted in a while. I humbly accept your
patience in the mean time.
