I posted my article on "psychic detective" Jackie Barrett and just last night the comment war has actually ventured into threats.

I was expecting some rabid Jackie supports that are a few fries short of a Happy Meal to leave me some hate, but this is ridiculous. For someone who claims to be involved with the law Jackie & Co. don't seem to have any concept of it.

The article is here: Jackie Barrett: Psychic Detective?

Edited to fix the link.


Please note that I'm not suggesting that you get involved in the flame war. I believe in ignoring the school yard bullies so they will go away and find someone else to harass.

I'm really longing for the peace wooers that want to talk about chi and meditate with crystals.

By the hooves of the mighty IPU (bless Her name) there sure are a lot of crazy people in the World, Well at least one anyway . . .. :boggled:

I once dug out a quote from the director of a missing person organization who said that out of the thousands of cases she had been involved with no psychic had every helped in a single one. I sent the quote to Randi and he used in one of his newsletters. Thereby knocking another 30 seconds off my allotted 15 minutes of fame,
 
They hacked my eBay account.

They freaking hacked my eBay account.

I have their IP address logged, so this is going to be reported.
 
Haven't found where on your site the threats are, but if you receive serious threats, contact the police. Gets the creeps punished, and acts as a deterrent for the rest of them.

Sure, it's the Internet, but threats of a serious nature you should never, ever put up with.
 
Anonymous there seems like a child, either in reality or mentally. Wouldn't let it get to you.
 
I like the big, scary marine with poor grammar and spelling skills.
He shoor wrights goud.
The one who posted his/her/its alleged phone number seems like a complete wack-job.
Does make you wonder just what exactly these people do all day that they so violently hate critical thinking journalists...then again, I suppose they could be governors of large, oil-rich states with small populations...

OK, I'm not wading through a several A4 pages long flame war just to extract one(?) post containing threats. Could you quote them?
 
My favorite is the person who criticizes the writing style because the writer quoted pod casts verbatim. In theses pod casts Jackie sounds like a high school girl with lots of 'ums' and 'likes' thrown in with very little actual information. The criticism is that by accurately quoting her the writer makes Jakie look bad. This is apparently bad reporting....

A reporter is apparently meant to change quotes when they make the quotee look bad.

I think I am going to offer to sell some of these people Brazilian power crystals.

Reminds me of a Vanity Fair reporter at a Bifgoot Conference. He quoted exactly and boy did the fur fly against him.
 
I have found that many people who claim to have New Age beliefs and 'spiritual' and 'psychic' interests can quite often be some of the nastiest most bitter people you could ever meet.
