The difference here (at Avebury) is that the stones are not on foreign soil but, for the most part, are in or on the soil where they originally stood. Those who oppose their re-erection are actually doing so for very narrow-minded reasons - not for the greater good of the monument itself, its better understanding and appreciation on the world stage and, ultimately, its marker in history and its place in human endeavour.


Here we go again ... where do you get off calling people 'narrow minded' because they have a different view to you. There are lots of valid reasons for leaving the status quo at Avebury as it is ... for now anyway.
As well you know (or should anyway).

To be fair, June, Harry hasn't offered one rational argument to support his opinion. That's his right, but it certainly gives the APPEARANCE of narrow-mindedness. And that's not a criticism, because we can ALL be narrow-minded at times, surely? :)


What, you were only a few posts away saying you didn't see how adding stones would help.

Nobody, but nobody has given me a reason why I should believe digging up more stones would benefit Avebury. Yes they gave reasons, but I don't agree.

Disagreeing appears to be unacceptable for some reason.

I don't believe you should believe digging up more stones would help Avebury. But if you DON'T believe that, then I DO expect you to explain WHY..... IF you want me to accept that your position is rational.

Just curious here, not arguing, so please don't take offence :)
