Yes I did. "It is not possible to pass through things that are alive, no
matter at what level, in astral space." It's the same rule I've been
quoting since this debate has started. Once again, it's from page 145 of
the SR2 rule book.

But you can't have two auras occupying the same space. Once again, see the
quote on page 145 that I've been repeatedly citing. If FASA wanted to have
what Magister says as a new rule for Shadowrun, they would have included it
in the GM Information section, or in Awakenings (the magical sourcebook that
came out after CorpSec.) Instead the FASA says that posters to Shadowland
can be lying or wrong. This is the same Magister that says Immortal Elves
don't exist in Threats, if you recall. He was lying there, he's wrong here.

Indeed, my apologies to anyone offended by the above vulgarity. I was
getting mad that I had to restate a basic rule from the Shadowrun main
rulebook for what seemed like the 20th time only to have someone who can't
back up his arguement with concrete evidence say: "*sigh* THE JUMPER WOUILD
[sic] NOT STOP!!!! Can't you get that through your head?" First he yells at
me, then he implies that I'm an idiot.
I've stated my reasoning why the jumper in question would stop at least
three times with cited source references to why the jumper would stop. The
person who said the above cites a source that isn't supported by any rule
that FASA has made regarding aural interaction and contradicts FASA's rules
for Shadowrun. I've asked everyone involved in the debate to quote rules
supporting thier side, several times. That poster cannot do so and refuses
to abandon his theory even though I've pointed out a rule that invalidates
the forced intersection of auras. So I became frustrated with him.

And updated magical rules have appeared in Grimoire and Awakenings. Neither
of which touches or changes the rules I've cited from the main rule book.
If someone can quote the rules that say that forced intersection of auras
are possible and that the rule of two auras can't intersect doesn't apply,
then I'll say, "hey, you're right and I was wrong." It's that simple.
