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.

Onto page 19 and TD still hasn't clearly presented an example of skeptics being the incorrect shitheads he all but claims we are.
"What if you're wrong?" is the kind of BS theists use on weak minds. If we're wrong, show us some data.
Again, shit, or get off the pot.

Just read a review by CSI of a book by Dean Radin, and as expected, the author mirepresents and cherry picks data to change results. Soooooo zero credibility.

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.

What I'm saying here is that, if you are going to make a decision in life over a topic that has a lot of debate, then you should never do so by using a shortcut method. That would be the incorrect method. It is a very simple, limiting, and close-minded approach to arriving at what you think is the truth. Skeptics and paranormal researchers use this method. As a matter of fact, humanity in general limits themselves with this method.

They are making a close minded decision. As long as it is a topic that has a lot of debate, then any short means of dismissal is close minded and the wrong way of coming to a conclusion.

'Has a lot of debate' needs to be qualified.
You've yet to give anyone a reason to change their minds. Chastising people for thinking and acting 'incorrectly' is hardly compelling, especially since that's all you've done in this thread.
Instead of simply asserting we're wrong, illustrate it. Otherwise, stop whining about it.

I could illustrate that. But, no matter how hard I try, the skeptics would still always argue against my illustrations. So, it would be a futile exercise. In other words, skeptics would be close minded in regards to these illustrations just as how they are in regards to the paranormal. As far as debate goes, I have given an example with how there is already paranormal researchers debating the things skeptics say. I will present that link:
