It is a good idea to sit back and do … nothing.<\/p>\n

This is one of those times. Some of you may know that the Odd Empire is under a legal attack and we’ve been obliged to lay low for a while. What the attack is all about we cannot say (exactly) however it is safe to say that should\u00a0certain\u00a0ideas be upheld the Odd Empire will forever close it’s doors and you will never hear it’s like again.<\/p>\n

I mean that for if this thing passes, the rights of ordinary people to voice their opinions on the Internet will be curtailed. It is\u00a0actually\u00a0that\u00a0important. Your rights are at risk her dear\u00a0fun-seekers.<\/p>\n

Now my worthy opponent will say that it’s all justified and skeptics like myself do not have a right to speak. They feel justified to harass and hound people,\u00a0threaten\u00a0and \u00a0cajole without restraint. \u00a0I’ve\u00a0met several people like that and they have all been more or less the same.<\/p>\n

Why?\u00a0Because\u00a0they\u00a0believe\u00a0in aliens, Santa, witches, ghosts and other assorted things and I have an\u00a0opened\u00a0mind on those subjects.<\/p>\n

Let me say that again, I have an\u00a0open\u00a0mind and many other people, folks who don’t hesitate to lie, cheat, steal, purger themselves and lie to their\u00a0friends and themselves dislike me for the following reasons.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I tell lit like it is.<\/li>\n
  2. I have an open mind about the paranormal, which includes consideration of non-paranormal\u00a0explanations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Why would that make people angry?\u00a0Because having an open mind is not enough. I must\u00a0BELIEVE they shout and if I don’t\u00a0BELIEVE, they will harass. If I don’t\u00a0acknowledge\u00a0their recursive lies are true, I must be punished. If I dare to refuse to validate them, I must go down.<\/p>\n

    It also has a bit to do with the US First\u00a0Amendment.<\/p>\n

    If anyone would like a more\u00a0detailed\u00a0explanation, please PM me.<\/p>\n

    Thanks for the support I’ve\u00a0received\u00a0already.<\/p>\n

    Hopefully\u00a0more will follow,\u00a0until\u00a0then,\u00a0cherish\u00a0the freedoms you have and defend them.\u00a0Because the moment you give up and give in is the moment they win.<\/p>\n
