This is a community forum.  If you don't want a response, you shouldn't be posting it.

Critical thinking has been paramount in much of my draconity.

Same here. If I hadn't done alot of critical thinking I don't think I would know as much about my draconity as I do now.

However, reasoning skills can help one differentiate between a past life and a dream, magicksz from coincidence, and fluffy bullcrap from real spiritual development.

I agree with Nezdragon. A certain amount of reasoning does help.

But what's the point of posting on a forum community if nobody is going to give you any feedback?

I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of getting satisfaction from posting somewhere. Also feedback doesn't necessarily come in the form of a post on the forum. Sometimes a reply will be sent by way of PM, messenger, or some other form of communications. On the other hand you are right in asking "What's the point if nobody gives feedback?" it's something I've had to ask myself on a couple of forums before. Usually it's people are busy irl, forgot about the topic, or simply felt they had nothing to add. I made the mistake at one time of expecting feedback on a forum and once was enough to teach me my lesson. However never getting any feedback or replies does eventually lead me to believe I am not welcome somewhere.

As was explained to Airy elsewhere: Nezdragon expressed a problem, and I suggested possible solution(s). Further information about his desire(s) was also requested. What was he looking for in a forum? Could it be that he should just not look for responses to his opinions? I never talked about religion. I was trying to explain that some people do not mind a lack of response. Responses are nice, but if no one responds, at least people can still read the post and possibly gain some benefit from what was written. Some people may have misunderstood that and may not value that insight. Maybe I should not have assumed that this would be inferred.

At least we have a Spirituality section now! :bounce:
