Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I apologize. After reading again shortly after I lost my composure, I clearly saw that your intent was quite honorable. I guess I should have practiced my Wayne Cook posture before posting. But to clarify: I agree that Wikipedia is not the strongest reference. But it is a reference. And I did develop my own line of thought based on the reference. We are here for communication and to discuss ideas from ourselves and others. I also think that questioning the credibility of references is a supportive tactic. But it would be much more helpful if you would supply a better reference. I would really have appreciated it because I have been spending time looking for clear information on this topic. The part about your post that I didn't understand was that you used the same ideas from the Wiki reference that I used. Personally if I was to question someone's reference I would make my own comments in such a way that they could easily be distinguished from the reference that I questioned. To me this would diminish the sincerity of questioning the reference and the validity of the post. I do think that I could have handled this situation in a better way.

If I had given a short answer, you would have said I gave a " not incredibly detailed " answer, just like you did regarding Ingo Swann in your follow up post. > > > Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
