First, please let me say that the mods are very attuned to anything on the forums that resembles an attack. We don't ignore claims of personal attack nor take the subject lightly. Another issue that's near and dear to the hearts of the mods here is that debate is not argument; arguing does not make for a healthy debate. After making their point(s), members should then allow others the chance to make theirs. No one need get the last word (not counting when the mods lock the topic, hee hee, though of course that's only in extreme instances). Both issues (personal attacks and arguing for argument's sake) are in the guidelines that all members must accept before posting.
But in all your descriptions of Joanna's ghostliness, you've only demonstrated that she was a ghost unlike other ghosts previously seen on DS.
I'm glad that point finally came across.

My posts may have been very unclear, but I did not think I made any such statement. My post was intended as an open question ("Could she have been a witch?"), not a closed statement ("she must have been a witch").
Vlad, I did get your point in the first instance and though I know you like to return to clarify points already made I hope you'll realize that it's often not necessary. I merely asked you which powers you were referring to; that's all. I also realize that in the next instance you were asking a question, which was:
Might Miss Mills, as she is referred to, have been a witch in life?and I replied:
I can't think of any evidence that supports the theory that Joanna was a witch.I can't find anything wrong with my approach, sorry. If this is what has you upset, then as moderator I have to request that if you're going to throw a question out in your posts, please be prepared to hear a "no" answer. The same goes for providing theories, i.e. "food for thought"-- please be willing to hear an alternate theory in response. Since reopening to guest traffic we've had 2 straight months with over 100,000 hits and this one is shaping up to be the same, so when a question is posed there's bound to be a reader with a different viewpoint on the subject, and other members are as welcome to share a contrary opinion as you are to introduce the subject. Naturally, this applies to everyone. One needs a somewhat thick skin before sharing viewpoints on a public internet forum, even one that's moderated.
