Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't deliberately posting false information and claiming it is true also mentioned somewhere in the terms?
Harte
I see the Tedious Twins have been reunited (waves at Hans in the b.g.)
Hello Harte - 
Seeing as I'm here and all, please allow me to correct you for being wrong. Sky is not deliberately posting false information and you know it. He
is posting speculative information which, as he so helpfully pointed out and linked to, is the point of this site.
TWISI,
Allow me to correct
you.
I have not claimed that Skyfloating is deliberately posting false information.
My second contribution to this thread involved another poster deliberately posting false information:

Great thread yet again SkyFloating; just hopefully add my two cents before anyone else has mentioned it. I've heard for a long time many different
locations for Atlantis, the most recent was the Sahara Desert. Now I understand the Sahara could be the place where they were located due to the
fact of Egytian scripts that mention an atlantian empire...
Emphases are mine.
Because I pointed out that there are no such Egyptian "scripts," I was accosted thusly:

Well hear you go Harte three connections based on Egypt to Atlantis. I hope you have your fork and knife; get ready to eat some words.
This is one of the first times Atlantis is ever mentioned, and wouldn't you know it says the first story ever told was originally voiced in Egypt.
In Plato's book, Timaeus, a character named Kritias tells an account of Atlantis that has been in his family for generations. According to the
character, the story was originally told to his ancestor, Solon, by a priest during Solon's visit to Egypt.

Here is yet another reference...
It is not an easy question to resolve. Scientists naturally look askance at psychic information – if, that is, they are even aware of it. So,
the authors observe, the readings were not used to guide archaeologic explorations over past decades. Consider, too: Turn back the clock beyond 4,000
B.C. and most scholars, especially those in Cayce’s day, believe it was a time of primitive cultures. The readings, however, give accounts of
Atlanteans, described as a technologically advanced people, having migrated to Egypt – and other locales – over 12,000 years ago. Also, “the
readings mention [human] ancestors as far back as 10 million years ago, and high civilizations 200,000 years ago.” Remains unearthed in recent years
and carbon dated are adding more credence to the psychic revelations.

And one final url, with the connections between Ireland, Egypt, and Atlantis and this one has to many quotes to put just on so please read the whole
thing.

Now Harte since I know you didn't bother to go to google and do the smart thing and look for something connecting the two before you bashed my post;
I'm awaiting your apology. Otherwise I'm awaiting the same ignorant answers.
Every communication (involving me) since then has involved me (or Hans) being accused of asking for "proof" or some such drivel.
Speculation is to be expected in a thread like this. But posting complete bull and actually stating that it's factual will result in people who know
better pointing out the untruth.
That was the very premise of my post where I pointed out the above untruth.
To wit:

I don't care that people here play with silly ideas like Atlantis, but when posters state ridiculous claims and aver that they are factual (as was
done above) you can expect the contributions of reasoned skeptics to start appearing in this toy thread.
So. What's wrong with me doing that?

ON TOPIC - Can someone please link to or post the various cultures that have the Atla, Atlan myth commonality? I know I have read it around here
before and think it would be a good subject to also have under consideration here, on this thread which is clearly stated in the OP as
a place for Atlantology (ists) and speculation.
I can, but because you won't like the answer, I won't.
I
will read what others write though. I hope they don't go too wild and make factual claims concerning the language Nahuatl, which is the
language that gives us the terms you ask about. If they do, I'm sure I'll be the subject of even more ignorant derision.
Originally posted by TheWayISeeItI also believe the OP states this thread is not about discussing the tiresome did-or-did-not exist, and
how you two get away with being in flagrant violation of the OP over-and-over again is a mystery to me... esp. when you are both wont to accuse SF of
having special-latitude as a moderator.
Cheers!

I was unaware that the OP of a thread could set the conditions regarding intelligent responses to posts in any particular thread.
Could you please point out to me where in the terms of agreement this rule is found? I must have missed it.
Also, I would like for you to please quote my posts in this thread where I have "discussed" with anyone "over and over again" the existence or
non-existence of Atlantis.
IIRC, I've stated only once (in this thread) my opinion that Atlantis never existed and I have yet to ask any poster for any evidence whatsoever.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.
