definition of crass: "adjective - showing no sensitivity"

I submit "If you don't like my comparison with cancer research, then tough." as evidence m'lud


Definition of explanation: "noun - a statement or account that makes something clear"


I submit "If those events are subsequently (even many years later) shown to have had a cause which was not "supernatural", that has no bearing whatsoever on any other unrelated event." as evidence m'lud.


Advice, stop digging.

Yes - that would be my advice to you.


Plus to learn some elementary logic and then to apply it to what you write on here.

a) Some academic research into the subject has (and possibly still is) looking for evidence other than anecdotal.


b) El Pibe's argument:


Event x was thought by a person who experienced it to be paranormal. It was subsequently shown not to be.


Therefore events y and z, also thought by those who experienced them to be paranormal, WILL ALSO subsequently be shown not to be.


Fatal logical flaw.


ETA: And I'm sick of being patronised on here.I have done postgrad research and I'm not stupid.

Back on topic. Has anyone ever heard the story of the haunted boating lake area in Dulwich Park? Numerous people have mentioned seeing a lady in Victorian clothing walking around the boating lake very early in the mornings. Are there any people locally who have witnessed/heard of other peoples accounts on this particular ALLEGED (for the pedants on here) haunting?


Louisa.

I think we can all agree that there has been academic research on the subject, which has yielded no positive results. I think we can also agree that El Pibe's argument, if it were intended to disprove all paranormal observations (which it wasn't), would constitute a faulty generalisation.


We're still left with anecdotes vs grounded cynicism...

No love. I've made my arguments quite clear.

That was a hypothetical situation representative of the logic involved.


There is no evidence of supernatural (ghosts, goblins, gods) phenomena.

There is no evidence of paranormal (telekinesis, telepathy, prescience) phenomena.


Therefore any "explanations" of experiences are conjecture, based upon personal feelings and beliefs.


Until anyone provides a shred of evidence then I'll assume the real explanations of any experience to be mundane, based upon physical (or psychogical) reasons.


Take my ghost. I could have said "I know what I've seen and you're all close minded" but my instinct was to question my sanity.

Eventually it was explained perfectly well as as an acute sleep disorder. Bob's your uncle.


Again, until a fact is produced in support you've only your own logical fallacies, and complaints about personal insults (there were none) to fall back on.


So waiting, facts...

Dear Sue,


I posted again because some post were very eccentric. Being insulted by some one who thinks as you do is quite a compliment.


Cheers.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
