I recommend that folks starting any new threads in the I/M forums who would like to have a discussion based on an unquestioned supposition of the existence and effectiveness of such practices, just say so in your OP, to avoid any negativity slipping in. The moderators will work with you in keeping any off-topic posts (arguments about existence) OUT.

There is no rule against expressing an opinion that what you're trying is invalid. It's not very gracious, I don't think, but it's not against the rules. But posting off-topic IS against the rules, so feel free to distinguish the operating topic guidelines of your thread right off the bat, and as long as they're reasonable and in line with the forum rules, we moderators will do our best to keep things on-topic.

Thanks.
