pls join me here to discuss: http://www.skeptiko.com/forum/threads/of-skeptics-and-bannings.318/There should be a forum for listing all suspensions and bannings, with an explanation for each.
The "must assume mind /= brain" quasi-rule should be eliminated. Instead, if a thread is marked Mod+, then the person starting the thread should explain the rules in the opening post.

What needs fixing? What needs improving? :)
post of link of smileys you like.
Take the word spiritual off the heart icon. It degrades spirituality. It's mostly used humorously. Though it is funny, the heart is enough by itself.What needs fixing? What needs improving? Who absolutely must be invited to appear on Skeptiko? Let us hear from you :)
I agree. Also send a PM.The current system of placing mod warnings on old posts is pointless. It pretty much guarantees the message won't be seen. Why not simply post a message in the thread, instead?

Hello, Alex!
Below is a message I left recently on another part of this site. Mr. Ian Gordon was kind enough to refer me here.
I have a question. Have you ever considered getting Neuroscientist Peter Tse as an interview guest on your program? Are you familiar with him? I think he would be an outstanding person to guest interview!
He has a new theory of free will that is quite interesting. Let me throw you a few links since I don't recall his being discussed here before.

Please let me know what you think. Thank you.

Hello, Alex!
Although I've been a longtime reader and enjoyer of this site, this is my very first posting. Can you give me some assistance? Is there a part of your site where people can recommend guests for future shows or interviews? I've tried to find this area but have been unsuccessful. I have a great idea for whom I think would be an excellent guest. Can you let me know how best to share this information with you? Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Hi J-man... noted. BTW u can always email me directly alex @ skeptiko.com
Hey Alex,
I suggest interviewing John Horgan whose recent interview with Rupert Sheldrake I posted in Critical Discussions. He wrote "The End of Science." He certainly leans quite heavily towards materialism, though it's clear that he personally like Sheldrake and seemed far from dismissing his ideas. Mainly, I think a lot of what he says in his book is interesting and is coming from a direction that doesn't normally get talked about around here.
Cool, thanks. I'll check it out.Hey Reece, that's a good idea. I second it.
Just an FYI in case you're interested- Bernardo Kastrup interviewed Horgan not too long ago on his Inception Dialogues....
