StopSylvia Email: "Confused"

Brown, I don't think she (yes, "she") thinks that charlatans shouldn't be stopped. She just doesn't yet believe that Browne is a charlatan. I'm hoping she will read those articles and, perhaps, realize that Browne is not what she thought. It wouldn't be unprecedented!

Well, I am ticklish - does that count?

And I read the S_Pepys quote in your post. I avoided answering questions in that thread? Reading the thread would disabuse anyone of THAT particular notion. And I am "like Sylvia" exactly how? Our dainty femininity?

:D Oh, that has cheered me up on a really rubbish day - I have this image of RSL in a Sylvia wig. Sorry Robert, but they do say laughter is the best medicine!
 
I'm getting the feeling we've been had, and The Great Reveal is coming shortly. Robert, are you really Sylvia after all and your entire act has been one big disinfo plot?

Whew! Since Sylvia dancing a jig is inconceivable, I was obviously mistaken. My apologies, Sir. And if anyone dares post any sort of image showing Sylvia jigging I shall be forced to immediately report them to the mods for permanent banning.

I don't have to post an image- I know you're already imagining it, and you can't stop thinking about it.
 
i would encourage anyone reading, who isnt part of robs ministry to read the other thread and check robs dear friends site yourselves.

......continue patting each other on the backs.

I do wonder why it is that people try to paint Robert as being an inconsiderate person, when that really doesn't matter.

The truth can stand on its own, regardless of the character of the one bringing it.

If people want to prove that Sylvia is a real psychic, then let them, in stead of trying to divert attention away from her.

And seriously, how many of us had any real training in skepticism and critical thinking before college? OK, well, maybe a lot of you guys did, but I didn't. And I was a liberal arts major and made it through 3 years of college without any training in this kind of thinking! I got my first real exposure to it here. Sad but true.

Well, I haven't had any "real training in skepticism and critical thinking" yet!

None in grade school nor high school. None in college either (Two years, no degree earned. Theatre Major and Music Minor). Spending decades as a professional computer programmer certainly made sure that I understood and respected logic, which is at the root of skepticism and critical thinking, and I was a fan of Randi, but I had never really studied skepticism nor critical thinking, and had never even heard of logical fallacies, Occam's Razor, nor most of the other "tenets" of Skepticism and critical thinking until I started hanging out here almost ten years ago (September 2001). And I don't think I'm alone in this. Ex-M, I think you may have an unrealistic mental image of how "the rest of us" got here. Your path here and mine are not really so different after all.

I think i explained, in detail that it was a simple curiosity, not a suggestion to rsl to change up his methods.

Did you miss this or anything i could point you to the post in question if you would like.

Just catching up on this thread. I did read that bit. I know it was simple curiosity. So I made a prediction about what would happen. I know Robert would never do the thing you suggested, but others might and have done similar things.

If ever Robert wants to go into teaching or write a book, he could do the subject "how to convince others of your point of view." He has shown he has the knowledge. But no, I do not expect Robert to do anything like this. Nor do I expect him to do very many of the suggestions that are made in this forum. After all he has greater knowledge and experience than most of us in what he does. Yes, I am an admirer of his.

Sorry if what I wrote was not 100% clear.

hi all

roberts answer to everyone who questions or disagrees with him is that they are a troll. fine, id rather be a troll than a hypocrite. heres a link to the thread in question so you people can make up your own mind about our sainted mr lancaster. his avoidance of answering questions in that thread is quite stunning. i think he and sylvia are actually quite similar. see for yourselves.

Has Robert ever called anyone a troll before? I cannot recall him ever doing so. It is not part of his normal way of writing. If no, congratulations to s_pepys for being the first.
 
Robert: Let's exchange sites for awhile. The crowd protecting "my" psychic actress sends the same kind of messages ALL the time! Unless of course its just one person sending a lot of messages under multiple names. . . gee come to think about it the names you cite are some of the same names I've received similar messages from. . . Hhhhhmmmmmm. If you wish I can start forwarding all the messages I receive to you so you can have some more. I'd even throw in the ones I get from Laurie McQuary supporters but in the last few months those seem to have dropped off to almost zero. Even you-know-who supporters appear to have packed their bags about my critical analysis. Are the supporters of the aging psychics themselves dying off and/or discovering how foolish they may have been as supporters?

Mr. Lancaster was extremely reluctant to call Mushy a troll and he's well... a troll.

As far as it goes, I have a friend who's a very liberal Priest. I usually give him a slide on religion when I don't with most people, because unlike others he does a lot of the charity and care for the poor that I was led to expect from Christians growing up.
He's married, has no issues with homosexuals, and generally is what I expected of priests after growing up with Father Mulcahe.

if that means I fail as an atheist well...
