If you really want to merge threads, it would perhaps make a little more sense to merge also my first number-guessing thread: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=241593 , (which was not of the blinded kind) and put it at the beginning of this long thread.

You could report your own post and suggest something to that effect to the mods.

But I think by far the best approach is to keep threads unmerged and independent. In this way, people can immediately see the current opening post, and, if they are curious about the number of tests Michel H has already done on this forum for example, they can easily click on my name, View Profile, Statistics, Threads, and they quickly see the answer (and good luck with the current system to find the answer to this simple question).

There's no need nor desire to clutter the forums with new threads with the exact same repetitive stuff in it.
It is actually better and cleaner to keep your 'telepathy tests' in one thread.

Well I think this situation is already horrible enough, let's not make it even worse than what it actually is.

Sometimes people seem to admit I am "telepathic" (this, however may not last very long...). For example:

I am hearing Michel H's thoughts. All of them.

In 2002, I put some ads in newspapers (I remember, one of them was really expensive) and asked people to call me to do a telepathy test on the phone. About a dozen of people did call, the results of the tests were generally not great, except for one lady who had a beautiful voice, and who got a very high score. At the end of the tests , I always asked: "What do you think about the statement that I have a tendency to communicate my thoughts to others, because of an exceptional telepathy phenomenon?" I think all people agreed this was true, I don't think there was a single exception. I remember an old lady, who was the wife of a (possibly former) member of the military, who insisted this was real, with a somewhat loud voice, but, she said (more or less, I don't remember the exact words), "I can't succeed in the test".
 
Michel, if you've ever played pinball, you will know what happens if you launch the ball and then step back from the machine: the ball will roll down and go out of bounds. Every time.

Every thread of yours is like that game of pinball.

This is actually not a bad question, I think.

I am continuing my pseudo-sexual experiments with smart and beautiful webcam ladies, who sometimes are "on the other side of the world". Sometimes, for the good of Science, I pretend I kiss them and I observe their reactions. This is actually an incredibly powerful method for studying telepathy, which requires very little effort.

Thank you for the suggestion.

This obsession with merging threads is actually unique to this forum, never seen this on any other forum (and, believe me, I have experience). In other forums, my old telepathy threads just disappear from view after some time, and nobody is complaining, or should complain.

You keep telling yourself that.

No one else will.

Everyone else recognises sarcasm when they see it. Do you understand the word? Do you understand the concept of people making fun of you? Do you recognise that your self-confessed mental health issues might be clouding your judgement?

There was no sarcasm in the statement quoted above, and you know it full well.

It was entirely sarcasm, and if you don't know it, you should.

You know my history in your threads. You know that I have repeatedly said there is no such thing as telepathy, and that even if there were, your tests are so poorly conceived and executed as to be utterly meaningless. There is no way to separate any "result" you might get from pure chance. OK, so having said that, if I said.........

"Michel, I am 100% certain that I hear your every thought clearly "

.......would you think I was genuinely hearing your thoughts, or would you think I was being sarcastic?

All your 'tests' in one drawer, easily accessible to anyone who wants to see your body of 'work'.
Mind you, it also means that your body of 'work' can be searched much more easily.
Want to find all your references to violence? Simply use the search function of this one thread.

It's ideal :) :thumbsup:

Then you'd need to quote the full post, since the sarcasm applicable to your quoted statement was shown in the closing statement of that post.

Drip drip drip .....

He will probably think that the double quotes indicate that you are not making a true statement.

I think that I would probably study your credibility carefully (this is what I usually do), I would look at your history of posting, and especially your recent history. I don't always take things at face value, obviously.

Anyway, I don't think "sarcastic" is really the good word here, one matter of concern is always reliability.
