His position is that it shouldn't be equivocating. His viewpoint is
already represented ("Ki exists absolutely.... [it] can increase your
strength, throw people around, etc."). My problems with the current
answer is that it assumes that everybody means the same thing when they
talk about it (which is also his position). Yes, there already is a
disclaimer that the question and answer are controversial.

*shrug* At this point, I'm just going to ignore him on this topic. I
know that when I get around to changing that answer, he'll post a lot
again, but I think I'll continue to ignore him unless he cuts down on
his troll-like behaviors.

It is nice to be around other FAQ maintainers, though... my only
interaction with one was with my predecessor, who was inactive in the
extreme on the newsgroup.
