TAM 3 in Fortean Times

[Beady]

There's an "interesting" article on TAM 3 in this issue of the Fortean Times (the one with the Nazi on the cover). It's not very complimentary of the membership; OTOH, the author seems pretty impressed with Kramer.

Let me guess - it's the article by Ted Dace. Am I right?

Yup. Don't know anything about him, myself.

"Fortean Times" is just a funny rag in general.

From the blurbs for the may issue, for example: (issue 197, bolds mine)

Swiss contactee Billy Meier’s UFO photos have been taken as proof of ET visits while being dismissed by others as obvious frauds. When leading sceptics failed to produce anything comparable, Alan Friswell decided it was time to take matters into his own hands and demonstrate how easy it could be to make a flying saucer picture.

I suppose the "skepticaler than thou" attitude is to be taken for granted as a fixture of New Age Appologetics these days, but the Billy Meier photos were covered months ago. (Skeptic, this issue)

How do they hope to maintain any sense of credibility if they're willing to lie about pointles stuff like this? (we need a headscratch smiley.)

It's great bathroom reading, though.

No. The paper's not absorbent enough.
