Unc, I am going to snip out what I believe to be the irrelevant parts of your response and leave in the parts I want to address.

[snip] Now, Unc, let me contrast what you said above with what you originally wrote: "I've witnessed real, hanging-ten-in-mid-air levitation." I think you would agree with me when I conclude that you have NOT witnessed "real, hinging-ten-in-mid-air levitation" as you first claimed. Indeed, you then readily admitted that not only was it possible that there was "some kind of psychic siddhi going on, in which people's perceptions were altered to allow them to see a phenomenon that might not have been present on a physical level" but that not everyone in the room where this was going on actually witnessed it. So. To me, the important question is: why did you feel the compulsion to tell us that you DID see "real" levitation when it is obvious that -- even in your own words -- what you experienced was very far from what could remotely be described as "real"?
