Just sent this e-mail to Mr. Roeper. I figure he'll get enough hate mail as is, he might as well know there are some folks on his side...
Sir;
Just a note to thank you for your article in the Sun-Times today, which I
just read on line.
Expect to be violently attacked by the supporters of the Conspiracy theory
who will claim that "If you just WATCH this video/picture/etc., you will
see the TRUTH" (capitalizations are intentional).
I am a member of the James Randi Education Foundation Forums (let me make it very, very clear that I am not an official representative of Mr. Randi nor do I speak for his group--I'm just a fan and a member of the message
board Forum there and my opinions reflect only my personal beliefs.) A number of us have been discussing this topic for weeks now at
http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=64 (don't try to read them, we have literally thousands of posts on this topic). Several of our members have made websites that counter many of the CT'ers opinions. Please feel free to use them if you need ammunition against the furious attacks that your column will probably lead too, if our own experience is any judge.
My best wishes to you in your fight for rational, logical, and true skepical thought.
My best regards,
Hutch (used real name)
