Hell, it didn't even have anything to do with the paranormal..just your entirely normal and thoroughly boring wishlist.
No, you are just dishonestly representing me. I am saying much more than that. I was explaining how it was possible that both the skeptics and paranormal researchers are being close minded and jump to conclusions. I gave many arguments to support my position.
Yes, if you have not done any research into the question, that would be a possibility. However, even a small amount of investigation shows the paranormal 'researchers' beg questions, use faulty statistics, fail to adequately search for alternative explanations, and are generally sloppy. On the other hand, the skeptics (like J. Randi) have put up money as an incentive to bring people out that have true evidence with no responders.
At some point it is necessary to say enough is enough. Over the past 150 years, the 'evidence' is all circumstantial and weak. Those pieces that don't have alternative explanations are also those that are poorly documented. No controlled demonstrations have been produced.
The issue is at least as dead as perpetual motion machines.
