Introduction	contributes to evidence- and logic-based discourse on scientific issues by critically examining all the available information and taking (non-rigid) positions based on the merits of the evidence. Viewpoints on OE are dissected through the force of intellect, rather than by playing the person or appealing to the popularitiy of a view or its conformance with a dominant paradigm. OE generally agrees with The Independent (UK), that informed citizens "tend to sift data and assess risk better than any attempt to confine such matters to 'experts'". Discussion is carried out in an open, non-defensive atmosphere. This open approach ensures all views receive a fair hearing and thorough representation — a vital step in scientific methodology & other intellectual pursuits of factual knowledge. OE recognises that there is little merit in the common skeptical approach of applying skeptical thinking only to views that question the status quo. OE, then, provides an accessible forum for open-minded skeptics who favour a balanced, precautionary approach to freely express themselves.
