Take the JK thread for example, it a good 7 or 8 pages.

You do realize that what you are doing is exactly what you have described as hating, do you?

Hating on a forum happens when someone mocks another entity (person or group) without valid reasons to support it. Even with valid reasons sometimes, the mockery goes so far it becomes considered hating. We all have valid reasons for exposing some people and those exact reasons are that they are doing something terribly wrong; something that is immoral or misleading, and sometimes, simply turning the art of magic upside down.

One of our main reasons for JK being exposed was for the reasons that he would remove all negative comments from his videos (althought that's one of several reasons). He would also claim to be an authority and ignore the opinions or thoughts of all those who are less experienced or well-known then he is. That's brute ignorance and immoral. It misleads people into thinking experience is the only thing that builds a true magician and all those with less experience should be subject to those with more. If you say that you agree with this, you have one messed up philosophy. And yes, I do mean that offensively because that's wrong.

As for Johnny Silver's case, that has all been resolved with Johnny apologizing for his mistakes. He is a well-respected member of the forums now and quite active too. You can personally message him if you want, but he certainly is a wonderful guy.

Everything else has already been said by theheron and Mark.

You give no valid support for your reasons other than the statement that we hate for no reason, which is untrue, as provided by my example given, that alone. Even when you do provide an argument, that is defeated by ours because it's already answered in the forums in the exposed section.

If you go ahead and read our Ethics Section, you should have a very good idea what many of our Magic Alert section is based off of.

Now, please tell me. Who's hating? I'm sure you have the intelligence to work that out.
