I have perceived this egregore influence a majority of common posters or people who spend a large amount of time 'lerking', even myself at times. I honestly feel it is not something to be overly concerned about, I am just more interested in 'steering' this egregore a bit to be a bit more accepting of certain concepts, such as magical thinking.
I also think it might be a good idea to take a break from posting, although IMO that will only calm the 'beast' down a bit, not really permanently change it for the better. I think the only way to do that is if a significant portion of people (or a handful of adepts) involved consciously set their will to change it in a specific way we agree on. At any rate, I am going on vacation with my wife to Yosemite starting Tuesday, so I was planning on not posting or at least posting lighthearted stuff only.
