Is it actually wrong to ghost someone?

[tree_]

no, i mean actual ghosts aren't real. they're a figment of peoples' imaginations. just like gods and tooth fairies

I accidentally ghosted tree once in a pm , and I lost him forever. And he lost his mind.

if ghosts were real i'd be tempted to believe you

I understand. You're saying people who ghost others aren't keeping it real. This is a valid opinion but it lacks nuance

no, it is impossible to be a ghost, therefore one can't ghost another. it's an impossibility. it's in illogical fallacy, a fantastical statement to say you can actually be a ghost. do you understand?

I can't believe we're even discussing this so close to Spooky month, have some sensitivity

the ghosts will be ghosting and when they do you better be on your best behaviour

[tree_]

i promise you they're not real. just because you like spooky movies and the holiday and everything doesn't make them more real. get off your high horse. you're not being smart.

"How can ghosts be real if our eyes aren't real?"

That's what you meant, right Tree?

[tree_]

What?! Our eyes are real if anything is real. There's no reason to believe ghosts are real. Or a god.

I just googled "How can ghosts be real if our eyes aren't real" to see if it's some kind of reference to a movie or something and now my wife is going to see it. Fantastic.

so many fallacies

[spike]

If ghosts aren’t real, why does the word ghost even exist?

[tree_]

Just an excuse to exercise a fallacy

I have seen a ghost.

Please explain

Well, not directly. It was this guy I knew a long time ago. His wife saw it. I've never met her, but he's not the kinda guy who would typically believe in the supernatural. But I'd trust him to be completely truthful about it. Since his wife is married to him i'd assume the same for her. So that explains the ghost I saw.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Gotta go bbl

Weird, because he sounds exactly like the kind of guy who would believe in the supernatural without good reason.
