StopSylvia.com: Email From an "Idiot"

RSLancastr said:
Especially early on, there were those here who were of the opinion that Browne fans would never be swayed by evidence. Emails such as the one above show that to be untrue. Others, such as forum member Brattus, have more recently expressed the opinion that the site is a waste of time because even if it causes a Browne believer to lose faith in Browne, they will subsequently start believing in some other "psychic." While this will certainly happen to some, others will realize thate t, if they were fooled by Browne, perhaps they could be fooled by someone else, and so will be on the lookout for that.

And I imagine there may be some that don't lose a belief in psychics immediately but are more scrutinizing of other psychics. Perhaps they become (more) aware of cold reading and see that in John Edwards and so on down the line until they come to the conclusion that they all are making it up. Or perhaps they see how you've found documented inaccuracies so they should check up on claims by James Van Praagh.

There are all kinds of people, some blindly follow Browne and won't be swayed, I imagine there are some that will just move on to the next, and some might be more critical. I'll say though, that having helped (and not even 'if' you've helped) a few people, it's a very worthwhile endeavor.

Anyway, great email. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, KT! Written any books lately?
 
Grats, Robert. Those kinds of emails make it really worthwhile, eh?

I don't think anyone who has ever criticized your work has done a single thing besides troll. Your stopsylvia site is certainly not a bashing site. MY site is a bashing site, there is a clear difference. I leave the gentlemanly conduct to you, I have way too much fun being an antagonistic douchebag.
 
Fantastic email, both to and from you. Kudos Robert! Can't wait to see you again at TAM this year.
 
Hey Robert, I hope you don't mind, I'm using material from your site for my anti-Sylvia flyer PDF. Would you care to host it there when it is done?
 
No way. The caustic style of my site wouldn't serve the flyer's purpose at all. My site is for laughs, aimed at people who are already skeptics.

I'm all about the target audience :)
 
Neither! He's the Australian medium who was over here in November fleecing the gullible. See:
www.silvercordcircle.com

He's usually accompanied by his cohorts including the 'famous' Australian medium Christine Morgan.

They are both vouched for by Victor Zammit who also endorses Sylvia Browne, Alison Dubois etc.
