Okay, so I just got threatened

Welcome to the club sg1985! If you are receiving threats from the fundie woos, it means you are doing something right! Also, if these threats are coming off as violent in any manner, you should absolutely inform the police.

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.

Should not her title be spelled "Defective" ?
 
Hello…

We have been on the receiving end of all kinds of threats because of our efforts to expose the truth. We have even been served legal papers to stop discussing cases because the items are “copy rited” (their words not ours) and any mention of the case would decrease the ability that they had to make profits from its publication.

We talked to James Randi about the problem and he told us that if we were getting legal threats we must have done something right…

This is just the way that people who are scamming the public seem to attack. The threats are usually without any backing and never pan out to be anything more than a scare tactic. If there are physical threats or any type of computer attacks that are documentable this is a great time to start filing complaints with the Police, just so you have the upper hand.

It is great to see someone else that is willing to help expose these frauds, keep up the good work.

In case you were wondering you can check out the case we have had the threats about at

Thanks,
Bryan

This might explain his literacy skills:

William Cook, who stood in line for five hours, says he only owns two books: Norris’ autographed book and the Bible. I didn’t dare ask him which one he rated higher. He’s saving the Norris book for his Marine son, Sgt. Kevin Norris (no relation to Chuck) who is returning home to Azle after three stints in Iraq. He said his son’s goal was to be as tough as his idol who is, by the way, an honorary member of the Marine Corps.

sg1985:

You did an excellent job researching and writing about "Psychic" Medium Spiritual Advisor, Jackie Barrett. You provided an accurate accounting of the relationship between "psychic" detectives and law enforcement in general, and Ms. Barrett, specifically. You used a neutral tone, did not make fun of Ms. Barrett, or make false allegations. You stated facts.

So how good was your blog?

I read all the comments on your blog, and none of them corrected any erroneous information. Some posts were made, stating to the effect, that you were unfairly attacking Ms. Barrett- but not one person provided evidence of her role with law enforcement. For example, no one gave the name of an FBI agent and posted a copy of say, a letter of confirmation proving that the FBI requested Ms. Barrett's "psychic" services, and that she provided the clue(s) that solved a case. Only misguided individuals made posts stating garbage to the effect that "she can't talk about her work because it's secret," or, "if she only helps one person...blah, blah, blah."

Don't let negative, feeble-minded comments get you down. Keep up your good work exposing the fallacies and falsehoods of self-promoting/media supported "psychics." Please continue to help educate and inform.
 
Funny how they keep thinking you can't criticize her because you've never met her.

SOP for woo. Akin to homoeopaths claiming you can't criticise homoeopathy until you've tried it, or assess the evidence for it if you haven't completed a three year indoctrination course.

I agree. I think most of those comments are typical of psychic defenders. The article was excellent - keep up the good work, and, remember, if people are talking about your article, good or bad, then it is making a difference.

Yeah, and they've never met me but they're free to criticize away.

Also, I've never met her and therefore have no right to comment on her, but when I asked to interview her and Crowley they admit that they both ignored me. Because I'm not important enough to warrant an interview, yet I'm important enough to keep a 120+ comment flame war going and hack into my online accounts.

Btw, someone tried to hack into my hotmail account, then I got an e-mail from Script Frenzy that had an attachment. Script Frenzy doesn't send e-mails with attachments. Good thing I have McAfee and a computer geek friend. For some reason he thought that my opening line -- "Well, you see, I pissed off this psychic detective" -- was hysterical.

Ah, feel the love.
 
Sounds like the woo are upset. I'm guessing your article was a little too accurate for their taste delusions.

What was up with the "ugly" comments? I mean, aside from being untrue, that is so juvenile and utterly irrelevant.
 
Wow, those people are really scary. I just left a comment I'm sure they won't like.

I am a little embarrassed to admit I had no idea Corey Mitchell was involved with this-I only know him from his writing for MetalSucks. Guess I should get out more!:o

Yeah, Corey is the founder of ICB. He's also the one that hired me, so that is a testament his utter awesomeness. :D

And yes, all of their comments are juvenile and irrelevant. Which I found ironic because a few of them brought up my age.
 
Jesus Christ, this just gets more ridiculous.


A commenter claimed that this was a text message exchange that he had with Jackie.

Jackie: "Actually we all know who did this. I just think its funny. Lol. But it will be delt with through legal. Have a wonderful day."

Me: "Lol what can you sue star for" All she did was qutoe you which is perfectly legal."

Jackie: "Don't worry you'll see. So I have a party to get back to ! My lawyer may contact you."

Me: "LOL you're halarious, ****in joke, stop harrasing me and lose my number you immature person, deal with your own lies that you made and don't look to point any fingers, don't text me anymore"

Jackie: "Oh you told me of the blog (before it went up) we found out its in legal."

They had to consult a lawyer to ask if it was legal to quote someone?
 
People often have erroneous ideas of how the legality of quotes and attribution works. Especially if they don't like the quotes and feel they are harmful.
