This article was for informational purposes. It was to explain the beliefs of some and an explanation of those beliefs by describing the character of the entities of belief.
By calling it fluff and threatening to delete it, you have not only said that the time spent in research was wasted but that those ppl out there that believe in them don't count. You have exercised your great lack of tolerance and disrespect to those who do. This saddens me.
My intent was not to convince but to educate you to the beliefs of others that come within the category of "other" beliefs which I might add, if you never understand, will blind you to some true energy.
As you wish I'll take it out myself.
Brightest Blessings ~MappaM~

I would delete this on sight but I'm in a decent mood so I'll let you explain this. Are you actually saying all this things are running around physically or that they exist astrally?

not sure, but this might mean somthing.....
"They were one of the first of the tribes of Fair Folk to leave the physical realm to travel to the distant realms closer to the Mother and Father Creator, and they now live in the realm nearest to the Holy Parents referred to as Tir Na n'Og."

I'm sorry but I consider anything that implies that Fey/"Fair Folk" existed physically on earth to be fluff.
However I want to wait for mappa to explain this more fully before I delete it.

A great deal of that information fits a few species that exist in the astral planes. I have not had much experience with them, but at a glance, the information matches on two of them. I have had no contact with any of the others however.

MappaM stolid's point wasent to try to piss you off, its to keep the integrity of the forums, and while he can be a hastle some times, he is good (usually) at sorting out the fluff and not fluff, the world is filled with many problems, and honestly my goal here is to keep a problem free area, where knowlage is spread freely, we just want to make sure we have our facts straight before we send out information its alot easyer to check every article before it goes out, than to recall it if theres a problem, MappaM i trust what you publish, as you very well seem to know what your talking about, but if there ever was a problem, its a bit harder to tell people to forget what they read, than just stopping it in the first place, we dident remove the article, we just asked a few questions, as you know, kelthak said he he's only encountered 2 of the ones you had listed. so were trying to deal with information thats over our heads, what can i say, were trying not to look like the bad guys here, but we made a mistake, shoot me for saying it, but ive done what i can, this knowlage goes above my skill level, and i honestly have no clue how to respond to it. the world is full of many decieveing people, and while i dont think your one of them, we've gotta check out everyone every once and a wile.

Like, Code said, I wasn't trying to make you angry, however you did make some extraodinary claims. Sites like this have a hard time keeping reality apart from fiction. I'm not saying that what you posted was false, but it does seem that way.
Think about it from someone elses point of view, when someone says that there are,or were, fairies and gnomes running around on earth it does seem like they are either insane or high.
I don't think you are either, but still, you need to give a little something other than explain what each thing is. It's not like energy working in that you can say, "try this", and have them prove it to themselves. You can say healing is real and people won't believe you. however, they can spend a bit of time practicing and see that it is. That's not the case with this. You just listed a bunch of what are normally considered fictional creatures and gave a description. If you had made it clear that they only exist energetically or astrally, then there would be no problems with it.
I hope I'm not ranting right now, but I want you to see that I'm not "closed minded." Just someone who attempts to be reasonably logical. You have to question everything you know about or you are just blindly believing what everyone else does. Like I stated before, this isn't something that they can spend a day practicing and see that it's real.
And now for a famous quote... "Keep you mind open, but not so much your brains fall out."
