Do they work or just another gimmick?
Bignose, this was the original question.....do you agree? A simple enough question by someone making an equiry. You didn't come in with an answer at all, but merely started ranting about "Proof"......that was the question in the first place..."Do they work"?
You, me and lots of others dont know the answer as we're not involved with its manufacture. If you had done some research yourself and had any experience with these items you could say so, but you haven't.
This is not a pop at you, but your first post was , as you state "aggressive"
1) I answered the original question. I took the question and redirected it towards "whether they work or not, they really aren't needed, to what is the point?" I think that that is a very valid answer to the original question, and MM seemed pretty satisfied with the answer.
and
2) you missed the point entirely with "You, me and lots of others dont know the answer as we're not involved with its manufacture. If you had done some research yourself and had any experience with these items you could say so, but you haven't."
It's not up to me to "do the research" and discover whether some one else's claims are true or not. I don't have to do the research to ask for proof. I don't have to do the research to start off in a skeptical state of mind. In fact, with no research in hand, skepticism should be the first state people jump to, not acceptance. Did you believe me when I wrote about my invisible troll living in my cupboard? I'm pretty sure you were awfully skeptical and don't believe that claim, and won't until I can provide some evidence of it.
It is the same thing with these. I do not believe their claims. I promise, again, to change my mind if some evidence is brought forth, but I'm not holding my breath for it.
So, my answer to MM's question was to not spend any of his money until evidence is brought forward, and questions about how these crystals could put more oxygen into already saturated water is answered.
I know I can be blunt, but my intention is never to be "aggressive". It is very hard to infer tone from the written word, and I tell you that I have never been intentionally aggressive on an Internet forum. Blunt, yes. Aggressive, no. I am just very big on trying to inject a little healthy skepticism so that people don't waste their money on today's fads that turn out to be worthless.
Don't buy these crystals. They are a scam. There is zero proof that they work. It is nothing but a waste of money.
Isn't that libel??
It's not libel so long as I have a good faith reason to say and write what I said and wrote. And, at this time, I have a very good faith reason to write that.
