Open discussion is rarely possible. It's loaded and one sided,


Good to see you back .
In what way is it not fair , loaded or "open minded " . ?
I know it may be dull for me to repeat this but the open mind /closed mind , thinking out of the box , platitudes don't add anything to a discussion anymore than calling someone a dullard ,they are simply synonyms for "I disagree " and add nothing to the debate .
Back to the discussion which I believe ws about the efficacy or otherwise of dowsing I had made a few commnets before you left earlier ,any thoughts ?
"Isn't it odd though that people can find all sorts of things without using any of the dowsing paraphernalia or claiming dowsing abilities and when asked to repeat the task manage to do so . Yet when asked to produce the goods dowsers either fail or back off as if it would be demeaning to do so .
As the the rods etc are clearly not a prerequisite for the various tasks i.e. no dowser has ever showed any ability to find anything that a non dowser couldn't , why attribute any practical use to them particularly when there is perfectly simple explanation for their movement ? "
