Loss Leader
I would save the receptionist., Moderator
... and here we go again.
No, I was not serious. I was joking. This was before I realized how ill you were. I never would have posted if I knew the state of your health. I am very, very sorry for any role I played in aiding your delusion.
Actually, an objective investigator would start at the beginning and assess whether you were telepathic. Trying to figure out a reason why someone would lie only makes sense if we know for a fact that it was a lie. So, an objective investigator might ask you to pick a randomly selected word or a five-digit number in a small auditorium, have you write the word, and then have ten volunteers of your choosing attempt to discern it.
In the three months since your last post, I have conducted two entire trials, several depositions, and written complaints, answers and motions. I have celebrated birthdays and holidays. I have seen my children's concerts. I have taken my mother back and forth to visit my father in the hospital. I have cooked meals. I have gone out to eat. I've seen several Oscar nominated movies.
I did all of this without once thinking about you. I don't care if you're telepathic or not. It changes nothing for me and is utterly meaningless to my life.
That is not one of the goals of this forum, stated or unstated. If it has been stated by the forum leadership, please direct me to the appropriate quote.
I certainly can. Note my post:
I had just written the number 4. I typed it right ther between "a" and "very." When I said it was like I had written it myself, I meant to refer to the fact that I had just written it myself.
That's sarcasm. It was a joke based on the word "seeing." I did see a 4 in that I was staring at it on my computer screen. I did not see it in my mind and choose to type it. I typed it quite randomly and then joked about having typed it.
Actually, I think a man who successfully repelled the Russians in a protracted war and then orchestrated arguably the most successful single act of war in the 21st century would be an excellent person to ask about how aircraft carriers do or do not fit into the nation's defense. He was a horrible criminal who murdered 3,000 innocent people, but the man knew war.
I know which one I'd do.
However, I believe that Loss Leader was actually largely sincere in his original post, where he also gave the correct number (he gave only one numerical answer, and it was correct).

You may note that his later posts have been fairly strange, and an objective investigator may ask oneself what may have lead hem to behave in such a bizarre and erratic way.

I suppose the correct answer to this question is simply the reality of the "Michel H" alleged telepathic phenomenon, whose recognition is facing enormous resistance within Society.

(especially on an educational forum whose stated goal is to "moralize" Society)

You cannot find or point out any sarcastic element in these exceptional posts
I certainly can. Note my post:
I am seeing a 4 very clearly. It's almost as though I had written it myself.

Asking you, on this forum, for advice on the proper way to conduct a telepathy test, is somewhat like asking Osama bin Laden (if he were still alive) if aircraft carriers are still important for the US military in the 21st century.

Frankly, I don't know if I should laugh or cry.
I know which one I'd do.
