Personally I'm fed up with the "debunkers" they act like there's some kind of bright burning perrenial truth that burns for all eternity and never change and that that they alone possess it and that anybody that deviates from it is condemned to the lowest circle of hell. They seem to take such sadistic joy in proving everything is wrong, tearing up somebody's thesis and tossing it into the bright bonfire of reason etc...

This is of course utter bunkum.

However on a more general note it is one of the orothodox's dirtiest little secrets that they're among the most closed minded of all! And I say this as an apostate from the orthodox and not as a member of the "alternative" (which I'm not.). It came as a shock to me to discover this fact but it is a fact. Now if the orthodox rejects something, no matter the subject, not just history,but physics, biology and all the sciences I at least slow down and give it a good hard look rather than smash it into the ground with an iron heeled boot because it doesn't fit the orthodox or accepted viewpoint.
