Fundamentalist Fervor


What is with the self-proclaimed "objectivist" contributors here who wrap themselves in the cloak of "science" and insist that they're faith based beliefs be accepted by all without question, challenge or doubt. I am not going to name these people here because it will likely result in this thread being deleted and that is not my intent but these "naysayers" as some here describe these people typically have no first hand experience with the matters upon which they produce they're pronouncements and proclomations and when challenged on that they recite their theory of some basic physics premise that is incomplete, improperly applied or not relevant or else they simply say it is a matter of common sense. You can identify these people easily because they have what Americans call a "trigger finger" and will rapidly label anything they don't understand as "snake oil" or "placebo-induced" or fairy dust and then demand that other's prove their claims with some test they say is easy to undertake but which they don't undertake themselves because they don't even have the product with which to experiment! They are a form of fundamentalists and my question is why do you think they are here what is their point if they don't hear differences at all?

@clearthink I am not sure whether you are having a dig at the "product" supporters or to those who ask for more information. I would ask for as many facts on a product as possible so I could make an educated decision on that product.

It does get frustrating when "product" supporters are not forthcoming with information, even basic stuff, so you might be able to form some sort of opinion on the validity of the product, no matter if it is good or bad.

Threads will always contain polarising comments by some, but that is the spice of life, the democracy we live under.

@clearthink You might be best reading the forum's policy before having a go at me. I posted same on the tweaks thread…

excerpt "You agree never to post to or use Our Website or any Public Venue for any purpose that is illegal, fraudulent, infringes the rights of others, or includes advertising, promotional material, solicitation of business, chain letters, pyramid schemes, solicitation of wagering or gambling, spamming, or that is otherwise illegal or inappropriate."

So I was not inappropriate in bringing certain affairs to light. Best you Clearthink yourself before slagging off at me, or my opinions, which so happens to be site policy.

Nothing fundamentalist about a skeptic. Skeptics simply challenge ridiculous claims that make no sense at all. When unscrupulous sellers charge 100x markups for miraculous tweaks that cannot possibly make a difference then warnings from skeptics are simply helping to prevent fraud.

The very definition of a pseudo skeptic. The sky is falling, the sky is falling! 🐥
