You may have seen this post today:

The groups statement of purpose is:
Positively explore issues having to do with Astrology, metaphysics & spirituality, homeopathy/alternative medicine and healing, Ascension, and other subjects having to do with holistic physical and spiritual growth & traditions.

"Positively" is pretty specific.

The problem is that some posters may not even realize they are in a spirituality based group until they find themselves chided for rudeness. I am happy to see new faces, and discuss what I believe in with people who are respectful, but I do understand ASAH is also safe haven.

So, I'll ask the admins about the option, and wanted to ask everyone what they think about this.

I came back in to say that I have every faith that we could handle these situations without too much fuss if it turns out that we need to due to an inability to Opt-Out, or if the majority wants to encourage new visitors. I'll post as soon as I get an answer.
