To be clear, it was not my intention to call Upir a bigot (American usage implying intolerance of another race), rather to say that (I believe) he believes that vampires are a race different from other men in actual ability and characteristic. 



I hope that he can realize that I meant no offense, nor was I attempting to discredit his work. I apologize to anyone who thought I was calling him a bigot; I have no opinion on the matter of his view of racial equality in regard to skin colour, nor have I ever been aware of his view on that matter.



If I am wrong in my belief that you view vampires as distinct from other human males, and that the abilities of a vampire are inherent and not learnable (by non vampire males), then I retract that I called you a believer in the existence of race ie a racist, and apologize for this as well.



I apologize for any misunderstanding this may have engendered, and beseech anyone (if any exist) that was convinced by my words, toward a negative opinion of Upir (or that "I"have a negative opinion of Upir), to understand that I respect his scholarly work, and the scholar. Furthermore, I find his work fascinating, and pertinent to this database. I have not the patience or skills to discredit his conclusions, and disagree on a few interpretations based solely on my (layman's) opinion.



I also did not mean to imply that his research was based on assumption rather than empirical data; I probably slightly misunderstand the word (dogmatic). I probably should have used unorthodox, unconventional, or untraditional, although none of these words convey what I thought dogmatic meant, which is, "allegiance to authoritative views."

such thing as elemental vampires?

Energy work is not the same as vampirism. 

Shapeshifting, ie into mist, wolves, bats, &c. is valid, if impure.

Koldun is sometimes associated with the region.

So... yes/no.



Upir is quite the purist, and his scholarly pursuit adds a lot to this index; however, there are branches of the vampire concept that are more sparkle than he would like... that any of us would like. 



I like shamanic overtones in my vampire. Shifting into mist is an amazing spiritual concept, which incorporates elemental work as part of its foundation.



Personally, I think vampires are a little retarded or disabled, they lack a certain mastery... even the capacity for mastery... which is what makes them scary. 



Upir is going to disagree strongly as he is a racist, in the correct form of the word; vampires have social/sexual abilities beyond our own race, by his research. 



I am far less dogmatic, and like exploring the spiritual traps that vampirism represents.

Kglitterous thinks...I'm a racist... and thinks I MIGHT disagree?! How in hell did you come to that asinine conclusion? And, yes, I sure as hell expect a response and solid evidences to back up such a truly vicious and completely false and libelous accusation!



I have seen some pretty disgusting and insulting ways many here have attempted to discredit me and the empirical evidences I provide backing up all my views (which is what makes me anything but dogmatic) while you accuse and state as fact your beliefs without any shred of evidence (the very epitome of what being dogmatic is, btw). 



How dare you attack someone so unjustly and irresponsibly! Being the dogmatist you have just shown yourself to be, I can't stop you from believing whatever you like. But you have no right to falsely accuse others here...sire or not! And doing so is in violation of this site's rules!



If that accusation is not immediately withdrawn, Kglitterous, I shall take action to have those in charge investigate this disgusting libel and you for making it!

I've read what was in the forum (including this apology and the thank you from Upir).



It's refreshing to see (on this site) two people truly acting as adults and reasoning out their differences.
