:D ***tries to look innocent***

Well, to me they weren't fake, cause it really did suck, but I guess the voter thinks the same of this place.


At least we can handle it without thinking the world is coming to an end.
 
"At least we can handle it without thinking the world is coming to an end."

I wasn't aware the write of the ezine felt the world was coming to an end - you do realize the ezine and hpathy forum are two seperate, albiet related things???
 
On the basais that both fall apart at the faintest mention of reality who cares? Also the forum does inculde a section on the ezine and if you are an ezine member you have to earn a certian number of points posting in the forum in order to stay a member. They seem fairly well linked to me.
 
"On the basais that both fall apart at the faintest mention of reality who cares" Uh - when did anyone from the ezine team fall apart from the poll BS you guys enjoyed? Since your asking - I care. In fact, when did anyone here have anything to do with the ezine other than the childish antics? How would you know what they are doing at all?

"ezine member you have to earn a certian number of points posting in the forum in order to stay a member" uh - not true.

Did I say a person? There arguments and articles both fall apart when exposed to reality

I read what they wrote thats how (there is thread around here somewhere called how would you rate the second homeopathy ezine) They also have a 4 page thread on the mounthly poll (If you want to know how I know this read starburn's comments in the feedback forum) personly I though the whole subject would merit about 2 posts but never mind.

Oh my lord - what conciete. Is it possible the 4 page thread on the monthly poll was to discuss ALL poll results????? Not just the folks from Randi-land?

and Errr - no it isn't true. The points system is to become an Hpathy team member - NOT an ezine contibutor - clearly stated on the page you quoted. As I said, although related, they arte seperate entities.

Pervious dicussions on polls have never gone beyond 5 posts. Of course they may have doing an indepth analysis of "What a fantastic homeopathic journal. A credit to all that has worked on it" but the whay that thread took off just after people form the JREF forum's started voting is a mite suspious no?

On the basis that every contribture that I know the forum name of seem to be at last a silver member I think we can conlude that the various parts of Bhatia-land are fairly well interconected.

Yes - they are connected, as I said - but your point system is wrong. That's all I am saying.
 
Unless you can show an ezine contributor who is not a hpathy member the point is irrelvant. Perhaps in the future they will drift apart but for now they are inextricably linked.

The one big reason I like these boards is that people like rouser are not banned, no matter how annoying they are. The boards that ban people that come in with reasonable arguments and actual facts are sad sad examples of people that can't defend their ridiculous claims against reason.

But I think it would be reasonable to say the majority of skeptics are not reasonable in their skepticism? No? They generally tend to be too fervent in their dismissal of anything lying off the beaten path of current scientific understanding.

If you provide good evidence to back up your postion I will consider it. If you don't don't be suppriesed if sceptics dismiss you.
 
Actually Geni there are contibutory writers of the ezine that are not members of hpathy.
 
and regarding your previous comment "Pervious dicussions on polls have never gone beyond 5 posts" - uh, because the previos polls where not about the EZINE as this was the first issue and being as it went out to hundreds or thousands of folks it would generate more discussion. Believe me Geni - you guys are not the constant topic of discussion of there at the ezine site. Sorry to burst your bubbles. Though I find it interesting how much discussion you folks seem to give hpathy or hhbb. And the majority of the discussion is not about scientific evidence for homeopathy but rather specific discussion about the "woo woos" .

Who cares one way or the other how some homeopaths organise their housekeeping? It's the same half-dozen dimwits who appear across all the main homeopathy sites. Perhaps they never notice how few they are: still plotting while the world carries on regardless (or as the Americans appear to have decided without reference to common sense philology: 'irregardless'- bastard child of 'regardless' and 'irrespective'. But I digress).

Where is the mystery? They are a fascinating branch of lower intellectual life. It's a perennial interest in turning over another stone and seeing what mad idea crawls out blinking into the daylight.
 
Hmmm we now know that Phil63 caqn acess the ezine forum. That somewhat narrows down the list of suspects.

No, they generally listen and then ask questions. People become fervent when folks like Rouser can't back up their claims and contradict themselves.

What is "scientific understanding"?

I dismiss ridiculous claims (unbacked) and obvious falsehoods. Anything off the beaten path is more than welcome, or I would have been booted out of the thread on "what is space".

The discussion there isn't exactly "scientific" on my end, and nothing I posted is "scientific".

At least I don't tell everyone else they are wrong, they do have more knowledge on the subject than I do. It would be disrespectful of me to tell them what they know is wrong even though I don't agree with it. It would be arrogant of me to claim I'm right when I have no way to prove it.

If I did tell them they were wrong and I was right, then yes, they would have every right to laugh my arse outta the thread, and even fervently tell me to shut it.

The homeopaths are the opposite. They are right (without proof), and everyone else is wrong for not putting their "faith" in it.
