This happens quite often on the forum. Both negative replies and lack of replies mean negative result, as far as I understand the very idea of the peer review. Most likely the ideas either don't appear substantiated or don't appear significant.
This doesn't prove you wrong, but this certainly means that your argument so far is not persuasive. By definition, otherwise there would be active support.
Well, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. It may very well be the case that others on this forum have not felt persuaded by what I have shared, but I have also seen what some have been persuaded to take seriously and share, and for me some of them also seem odd and unreasonable.
Lack of response does not mean anything as far as reasonable engagement go, and I have yet to receive a reasonable engagement with the proposals I have been making, so that I can judge for myself the soundness of their evaluation or convince others of the value of what I have tried to share. Those that were shared, I responded to.
Silence equaling correctness of views not expressed seems like an unreasonable expectation in science. I can’t have a crystal ball in reading others’ minds, unfortunately. This is a problem with peer review expectations, as I have discussed on my work, having published both traditional and independent works, and been an editor myself, so I am aware of what has been packaged as “peer review” in academia, hands-on.
If you think people not engaging with my proposals means automatically my views did not have substantive value, that is just your opinion. There can be many reasons for not engaging with others, and as a sociologist of knowledge I am aware of that and it is not an equation of first degree.
