Yes. It is. The link was posted and before anyone could discuss it or maybe consider the ideas it contained, it had already been torn up and scorned. In a different world, we could have had a discussion, kicked the ideas about.


There was a discussion ,it was so big it got moved and got even bigger

We probably still would come to the conclusion they either didn't hold up, or that there was no evidence to support them.

I didn't see anyone support the contentions , including you .

But that doesn't happen on TMA. Instead the whole thing is instantly ridiculed and if there's any suggestion that some elements may bear a little more consideration, or have alternative interpretation, it's instantly shut down as well.


It was instantly refuted , quotes were provided and evidence produced to show the errors .I was not alone in that .
You provided an alternative but the one aspect that could be falsified i.e. "And for anyone viewing the horse from a position where its horsiness can actually be seen, the sunset will be to their right. " was . It was discussed ,not dismissed out of hand ,I went to the bother of looking for pics and finding points of view ,when I could easily have said that it was just nonsense . I never criticised the style only the substance . The other aspect was hypothetical and despite disagreeing with it , it was not really worth arguing over although I did provide an opinion .

't joking when I said Thom would be crucified on here. As would Julian Cope for that matter. [/quote]
Crucified ? If they come up with bollocks then what is wrong with pointing that out .It happened a long time ago to Thom , elsewhere . Maybe anyone doing here would get "crucified" .
