This is a fantastic idea. I posted today in another thread because although I have done hours worth of magic performances I still consider my speciality language teaching and I actually typed and then deleted "if anyone disagrees then could you please do more than rip what I said apart by giving your opinion of a website you read and then post some link that could have been typed by an idiot",
I am so tired of all the nonsense that I have actually considered just not typing magiccafe into my browser anymore. I am in for sure Day 1 |

I'm always wonderful, if I treat you like a lump of mud it is because I trully and joyfully view you as a lump of mud. My real name is Michael Santa, anti Hispanic comments are sure to follow I'm sure. Or is it? Viva la Chicago!

I think you're mostly having fun with us in those. I do read and believe the posts you offer related to magic that reveal a knowledge of magic and some real experience behind that. I'd like to see more of THOSE posts. The avatar offer still goes. Best, Tim Day 1 |

If I had a picture I'd send it. I'm not of the computer age, my people invented the dang things it was others that made all the rest up. I think from now on here I'll just look up articles and post links, that is way cool.

Count me in Tim, I've had a change and would like to briefly tell you about it.
God tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to stop being an A-Hole. At first I didn’t hear him, so to get his point across he developed a kidney stone. I had pain in my left side for fifteen months before I went to the doctor to find out what it was. Once I learned what was causing the pain, I went in the hospital to have it removed. Up to this point in my life, I had never been sick or needed medical attention. Even though it is considered minor surgery, it had a profound impact on me. I came out of the hospital a new man. God works in mysterious ways. While I was recuperating, I started to reflect on how I let my life slip away. I was becoming bitter and mean to people. I acted like an A-Hole to people and did so for no good reason whatsoever. I couldn’t understand why I was acting like this? I was always a happy-go-lucky guy. People liked me and I was the funny guy at a party or gathering. In high school I was voted Class Clown, Happy Go Lucky, Most Popular and Best Stage Performer. I don’t know when I started to change. I generally like people and do a lot of good deeds and charitable work. So why was I acting out against people? I don’t know why I acted like an A-hole, I am not an A-Hole and I don’t ever want to be considered one. I have never been in any trouble with the law. Never been in a physical fight and I am a person who others count on and look up to when they are in need. God told me that I am a good person who was just slipping off the course. He said sometimes good people do stupid things; after all we’re human. He made me realize that life is (way) too short to create problems with people. He said that I needed to treat others better and stop with the nonsense. He told me to love one another as he loves us, to see the good in people and that not everybody is perfect. I told God I was sorry and thanked him for helping me see the era of my ways. I made a promise to become a better person and to only say blessings to my brothers and sisters. I promise to God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I will never act like that again…to anyone. |

You've not become bitter and mean and an a-hole Justin, you've just become a New Yorker.

I will stand my ground, but that can be done in a positive and polite way! Great idea, man...
Magic is an art. I am merely a tour guide.

Thanks to all those who recently opted in.
Scott... you are right in what you say. I am not suggesting people back down from their views or take any guff ... I am only suggesting that the positive and polite response is better. Just about everyone is sick of the flaming and I predict by months end we'll see a lot more opt in. After that who knows... but it'll be an interesting month at least. Best, Tim Day 1 |

Hey Tim, take a deeeeep breath and get ready, you asked me to share my thoughts on magic here in the area titled "not very magical still....". I share my thoughts on magic in magic forums. Now tell me Tim, what would you like to know about that is under the heading of 'magical' and I will make an exception in this area and give you my thoughts. If you do not have a question then that would be an insincere statement you made and thus failed your own experiment.

I was simply stating that you have made contributions to discussions on magic in that past and that might be a preferred path for you to follow in the future instead of as you suggested " looking up articles and posting links" as you mentioned earlier. No failure is possible in this experiment as I am not trying to change things, there is no goal. Its an investigative experiment. Much will be learned in this 31 days. Best, Tim Day 1 |

Great idea Jay,
If anyone chooses to adopt an no flames policy after or during the experiment then maybe we can add one of those circles with a line through it with a flame in the middle to an avatar. In fact maybe the good folks in the Café staff can add some symbol to their smilies for us to include in posts to indicate that we will not spark or participate in flames. Best, Tim Day 1 |

I feel Mr. Drake is attacking me. First he asks about a magical comment and then does not specify the comment which he seeks. I am flamed and demand justice.
*it should be noted that I don't exactly know what a 'flame' is since some of the more weak kneed out there tend to have thinner skins. |
