The reason this Challenge isn't going to test is because JREF won't allow it to, plain and simple.
Pretty amusing. I know this is probably wasted, but oh well...
1. You threaten to suspend things until October.
2. Kramer threatens to close your claim. Naturally, this is what you wanted to happen, so:
3. You carried through on your threat.
4. Kramer then closes your file.
5. You cry foul play.
You got your 'out'. Congratulations. Stop trying to make it seem like something that it is not and dissapear.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again, if at any point you REALLY began to doubt your ability (as I'm sure you have, though maybe not to the extent I've indicated) if you actually said "I'm starting to doubt if I can do it based on what everyone is saying. I will need to test myself just to make sure"
After that, if you tested yourself DBT and it turned out correct, You'd have a boost of confidence and experience in helping to iron down a protocol and familiarity with the process.
After that, if you tested yourself DBT and it turend out you were not correct, You could report that and bow out gracefully. This would earn you immense respect, I assure you, as we have all seen the alternative quite frequently: hem and haw, waffle, threaten, delay, stall and escape.
I suspect quite a while ago you began to doubt your ability. You wanted to get out, so sought out to try the patience of JREF with every 'condition' and vanity that you could think of, also arguing about things that had nothing whatsoever to do with what you claimed you could. (ie: Seeing the system, seeing the CDs, etc) This is what your 'e-mail record' really shows.
If JREF didn't want to test you, they would have simply denied your claim at the outset, since it was the device in question that was really being tested.
They choose to simply look at it like you had a parnormal ability to hear the difference, such as ESP, Remote Viewing or "magic ears", because anyone with half a skull knows the chip does absolutly nothing. The reason they did this, was they would LOVE to test this. -- Which is exactly why LA stepped up when you went through your 'out process'.
Now, Suddenly, when the claim has been rejected you state you are READY to test! You've done your own trials successfully!!!! You've almost got a protocol hammered out! You were soooo close but JREF got scared they would lose their Million and lied to you, everyone else, then shut you down.
I'm sure virtually everyone reading this doesn't believe it, so it's a waste of breath. I, like many others, had the utmost respect for you at the onset and your apparent willingness to be tested and work in a timely matter.
It is also a very simple claim to test, and we were certain protocol negotions would take no time at all since you could easily tell the difference.
Besides, if ***YOU*** Delayed things until October, what's the big deal about waiting 6 more months or so? Do whatever you had to do between now and October, only twice as well.
At this point, I'm sure this will be lost to you, but here is my suggestion.
1. If your DBTs are successful, post the method that you used and the results.
2. If you fail a DBT, don't just throw it out. Include that too. Don't delude yourself by deciding, oh, I just wasn't in my right state of mind to listen, when you do fail. Even if you do fail one trial, if you post like 10 more all successes then maybe something was wrong with the test, right?
3. If you pass, ask for help in tightening up the protocol.
4. Repeat this process. Passing the DBTs will increase your confidence of your paranormal ability and Failing the DBTs may very well educate you to how powerful a delusion or expectations can be.
