Archaeologist Johan Normark fights back against cranks

[quintaine]

Woooo hold your horses there a moment Q go back and look at your posts you are accusing our very generous host of exactly the same attitude you have. This is no longer a debate, you have an issue obviously, but you are not taking on board what others are saying to you are you?
Goodbye

I don't think this was ever a debate, it was a group lecture. You are all agreeing with each other and making the most preposterous pronouncements on what constitutes valid archaeological discourse. At least you pretended to ask me a question based upon previous posts but you are no more receptive to an alternative view then anyone else here. Instead you project your reluctance to listen on to me. You all seem to be convinced that to be an archaeologist you must have a university degree.

That other people involved in the field of so-called "pseudo" archaeology should be subject to the controls of academic scrutiny.

That the field of archaeology should be policed by academic archaeologists.

That all theories of pseudo archaeologist should be ignored or prevented and are inferior to mainstream arcaheologists because some of these theories are racist, elitest and contain bizarre unverifiable facts, from the point of view that is, of mainstream archaelogy.

I have an opinion on this, share it, then you patronise me by saying "I have an issue" because I do not change my opinion that archaeology should be free and open for everyone to explore and enjoy. Instead I have had to endure personal attacks, have my credibility questioned, have my privacy invaded time and time again and be accused in wild leaps of logic of "being happy with Nazi principles in archaeology".

It seems the ethics of "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem" is firmly entrenched in this forum.

You accuse me of not taking on board what others said to me.... did you take on board anything I said? did anyone?
I suggest you are the ones who are not listening, and given the palpable fear I sense on this site of opening up archaeology to "the great unwashed" you are the ones with issues.
