You can repost things that I have said in the past, if you think this contributes usefully to the conversation.
I am not able to control dogs, but dogs and birds seem to react frequently to what I say, alone, in my apartment (or, when I walk outside, like yesterday, for example).
There are perhaps some ego issues that prevent you from accepting me as a major thought broadcaster. This may lead you to try to impose the "mental illness" interpretation, which is perhaps more agreeable and comfortable to you.

We are all thought broadcasters...and we constantly broadcast it both vocally and through body language. So you are not unique.
As far as ego...ironic, coming from a person who claims with no evidence whatsoever, of the unique ability to broadcast thoughts remotely to persons unseen or nowhere in the vicinity.

This thread is filled with evidence, of various kinds.
I just completed a telepathy thread on this forum, with a hit rate equal to 100% (but with only one answer given).
Every time clear evidence is provided, many users of this forum claim that it is actually "sarcasm" or "sarcasm that I cannot understand because of my condition", but actually just because they don't like it.
For example,
(correct answer, Loss Leader was a respected - if not perfect - moderator of this forum) and later:
If an ordinary schizophrenic person does an ESP test on the most prestigious forum for discussing the paranormal (the forum of the Randi Educational Foundation), will he get such replies?
This seems unlikely, therefore ordinary schizophrenia should in principle be ruled out.
Saying "weak and ordinary mind" was an innocent joke, I don't think this removes anything from Loss Leader's credibility in this post.

Guys, please just let this thread die. There is nothing we can do to help Michel H, however much we would like to.

Yeah...you're right.

Alas, you are quite correct.
I have found that occasionally one sees posters at the Forum who actually are delusional, and that even a vast amount of facts and logic provided by other Forum posters will not serve to cure their various delusions. In fact, the delusions keep on flowing unabated even after they are clearly shown to be nothing but delusions.
Instead, I have found that what happens is that the delusional posters eventually fade away from the Forum after they discover that fewer and fewer Forum posters respond realize to their various delusions.

I'm still waiting for Michel to pick another number so that I have a N>1, but if he doesn't then I have nothing more to say.
Nay_Sayer
I say nay!
Why? I've asked this before but there is no unique avenue to explore that will lead to Michel getting it. I know many of the postings here are for the general population at hand but interacting with Michel in any way just strengthens his delusions further.

Michel seems reluctant to repeat the experiment after having had one success. I think multiple tries will show that there is nothing other than random chance at play, not for Michel, who will clearly just ignore the results if he even deigns to participate, but for others who might be reading the thread.

I have to say I was appalled when I saw you'd decided to participate in the latest test. A one in four chance of guessing correctly is far too high to risk, given the support it would inevitably give to Michel H's delusions, and of course if you'd guessed wrong he'd just have assumed you were lying. There is absolutely nothing to be gained from encouraging Michel H's mistaken belief that he is conducting a meaningful test by participating in it, only something to lose.
The idea that he might be willing to conduct enough tests to produce results which were statistically significant is laughable even if that was theoretically possible, which of course it isn't due to the fundamentally flawed nature of the test.
Michel H's delusions?
Which delusions?
I didn't say I had "delusions".
Is the belief that telepathy doesn't exist your current "religion"?
This (apparent) belief doesn't seem to be fact- or arguments-based.
If you have the opportunity, I think that you should not hesitate talking with a few psychiatrists or psychologists about my claims (telepathic thought-broadcasting, telepathic voices and so on), many (though not all) are open-minded. I would advise you to not rely on wikipedia too much on this subject.
Also, telepathy was discovered in England (where you live) at the end of the 19th century.
I believe that all my tests have been done according to high standards of care and rigor.
One must really be singularly idiot to believe that just being delusional (for a member) can lead a respected moderator of an educational forum to state, in 2013:
(this answer was proven to be correct, and such statements are not isolated cases).
I am so much better at being a thought receiver than Michael H. I would like everyone here to participate in a rigorous experiment I have come up with. All who participate are to think of a whole number between (here's the random part) 8675308 and 8675310. I will announce the results in 24 hours.

One must certainly be delusional if their belief in telepathy depends upon selection of a single answer chosen from many wrong answers given 8 years ago, as proof rather than disproof of their belief.
Who said that my belief depends upon a single answer?
You? Certainly not me (I said "such statements are not isolated cases").
The full results of the particular test Loss Leader participated in is here: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=9516155#post9516155.
Many more tests have been made, with many more answers.
The comments made by Loss Leader, as a moderator on a famous educational site, were truly exceptional, and are not at all expected as an answer to a person who is just mentally disturbed:
These comments are not just limited to writing "4", the words that were said are of great importance. This is something that many posters in this thread seem to have difficulty in understanding.
Loss Leader said my thoughts were very easy to read, and this seems to indicate a strong and very unusual telepathic phenomenon.
Besides, worldwide telepathic testing is an extraordinary thing, and some effort is needed for "deciphering" the replies and results.

What a joke, or are you actually trolling all this time?
Thanks for the link to the big 2013 results though, hadn't seen that post before.
A quick scan shows you cherry picked, massaged, or just plain lied your way from a 5 in 22 hit rate in a four choice test, to an 80% success by... Christ, I can't even. [emoji1]
Please tell us this isn't how you approached your two or three actual physics papers.
Because... that ain't science. It's palmistry. [emoji3525]

In 2009, I asked, on Yahoo Answers (which is now closed):
This again does suggest a strong and unusual telepathic phenomenon.

The best answer, chosen by Yahoo members, was:

You may not like it, but that how telepathy research works, a work of analysis is needed. On this work, a forum member commented:
I guess he had taken more time than you (with your "quick scan") studying my analysis ... (he had also participated in the test).

My gawds, you pillock... it suggests a strong sense of sarcasm.
