Psychic (Sylvia Browne) Who Said Amanda Berry Was Dead Silent After Berry Is Found Alive

[MADem]

181. I am not "defending" Browne at all. And I am not "attacking" Randi either.

Why the need to use such dramatic, hyperbolic language?

I am simply pointing out a few facts.

First, psychics are entertainers. This is a fact. They aren't scientists, there is no federal certification for them. They are booked as ENTERTAINMENT, not medical practitioners. If you want to believe that Doogie Hauser is a real doctor, that's on you.

Second, the kidnapped woman's family has no problem with this psychic. This is fact. They said so, and it's been cited in this thread.

Third, The Amazing Randi has been involved in fraud--this, too, is fact. He admitted he'd seen his domestic partner's Venezuelan passport to a judge. He knew that his boyfriend was using someone else's identity. He's known for twenty years. That's pretty big fraud, if you ask me.

Finally--I never said I found the discussion "trivial." I will say I find it typical. DU Cage Match, with people getting pissed off, shirty, insulting, taking sides, doubling down, and all of that fun shit-flinging--over something that the kidnapped woman and her family don't give a shit about. Using the name and bona fides of another guy who once discredited the woman, like he's some kind of Deciding Oracle, when it turns out he's liar and a fraud himself. Irony, anyone?

What's "curious" is why you want to make this all about me. Over and over again, with your little "Ooooh, here's some adolescent snark" pictures and "full of shit" well....rage-ish comments. Very odd, that. If you don't like my contributions to the thread, put me on ignore or just wave me off. You don't HAVE TO deal with me, or call me names like you've been doing throughout this thread in a most uncivil fashion (notice I don't return the favor, in vain hope that you'll perhaps one day start to model some semblance of civil behavior here--not holding my breath, but hope springs eternal...).

I happen to like facts and context and fairness. I'm not on any "team" here--I'm simply reporting from the sky box above the field.
