Forgive the fanciful thought but I think the first people to rubbish earth energies etc. would be the builders of the monuments themselves.

That's a helluva bit of speculation, considering how little we know about them.

And how would we like it if the folks of the 51st century visited ruined bingo halls and mobile phone masts and started wittering on about lines or energies.

"Wittering"?

Y'know, it's only yesterday that I mentioned how this forum could seem a little cliquey. Well now it feels more like a concerted effort to disparage anyone whose views don't fit with the forum norm. Yeah, sure, it's not cliquey in here at all.

Hi Dok, you seem to have a real bee in your bonnet about this and it's now spread over 2 or more threads.

If you really want to discuss it, how about starting a thread asking people if they think it's cliquey here?

Maybe we can have some views from people who have joined within the last year or 2, as well as from you and longstanding users of the site - who are immediately on the defensive coz 'clique' is such a pejorative term....

love

I enjoyed your contribution to the threads yesterday. From where I'm reading I don't think the 'wittering' is mean't offensively. Just a term of phrase, I think things can be misconstrued too easily. Keep the skin thick and keep posting!

Cheers

Couldn't that be a wrong impression? After all, not many people in the wider world believe in earth energies so it would hardly be surprising if most people here don't either. Not believing something and being a majority isn't really a clique, only if there's a deliberate attempt to exclude ideas. I don't remember any of that, only resistance to a couple of people pushing their views too hard.

Personally I have no belief in earth energies but I've wittered about funny feelings at sites and tried to rationalise it in terms of aesthetics and associations etc. but if someone wants to say it comes from more than that then fine.
