“It was recently suggested, by a Zetetic council member, that the Society rejected the monopole model over 100 years ago”
Better?
The ZC has been defunct for years, and its function was completely irrelevant to what you're saying here.
It is hard to be able say what the society believes in when you quote a Zetetic council member and prominent member of the site, only to be told his statements dont carry any weight.
Indeed. Trying to force one individual's views onto a group is a silly thing to do. You've been here long enough to know that there are multiple competing models, and yet you still persist in the logic of "but someone who believes in another model said he doesn't believe in your model!" What's the point in that?
I will remember that in future.
Make no mistake, friendo - I'm also not the infallible FE prophet you're looking for. The next time you try smugly explaining to Tom that "b-but Pete said", you're likely to get a similar response.
You are completely missing the point of this. We're a group that openly advocates the defiance of any authority, and you're sitting here getting grumpy over the fact that we have no authorities.
However my point still stands that there apparently is an opinion amongst some members that the monopole model is not correct.
You're extremely generous to yourself - statements of the obvious are not really a "point". And no, your "point" doesn't "stand". Telling Thork that his views are not the same as the views of someone else is not advancing the discussion in any way.
