That is certainly one way to look at it.
I guess I just revert back to all the negativity associated with that particular
object - over a great span of time - and it just seems like there's always been
something wrong, in a very dark way, with it at its core/essence and made me
wonder if it may have been built right into it at its conception level.
Anyway, I've never fooled with one, never will. Of course there's a lot of things
of a similar nature that I will never take part in but that board is at or very near
the top of a list of things that I want nothing to do with.
Loathe as I am to quote ANYTHING from the bible, I do have to mention that one
passage of "the dead knoweth not" because even though I think religion as a whole
is nothing more than a fear/guilt based control system, it's also got that broken clock
right twice a day thing going for it - I just don't think dead spirits are hanging around
in the afterlife waiting to feed us living beings all the hot juicy details about the other
side. Any interaction with non-human entities should be taken, if at all, with a boulder
of salt.
Just like walking through a dark alleyway, do you think you're going to meet the greatest
people there? Assume there are malevolent spirits out to trick you, use you or lead you
astray in ANY and EVERY interaction is my way of thinking. Keep those wits sharp.
