What is that intended to mean?

not much, just being silly and glib, a fault o' mine.

(that the spontaneous nature of blogging stimulates, unfortunately!)

oops i sent colman's reply to mig and vice versa.

to mig:

playing with metaphor, the overton window signifying the common wisdom, the fact that an economy/energy blog should even bother to comment on diaries like these, and the surge of interest from women as well as men when they occur, all suggest a shift, from where i stand... also peoples' attitudes to these phenomena seem a tad less judgmental than last winter, when similar discussions led to bad blood.

so it is amazing, but not how you meant, i think...

i do have a record of misunderstanding you sometimes, so excuse me if i inadvertently pushed your buttons there.

;)

I find it nothing short of amazing that in response to your comment above about "liberation" I argued that stepping outside scientific "constraints" is not "liberating" in the sense that it requires you to exercise more and not less critical thought, as well as a discussion of the difference between reported experience and woo-woo, and your conclusion is that "the woo-woo overton window is widening".
