Re: TWO FACES
OK, here we go...

Charie of Dayton (El Cid) :
First of all, get the spelling right on my name.
S&S said:
Are you really thinking now?
Do you really think that?
Read my post again, Carlos...I said "...This confirms my thinking to a small degree in my opinion...", referring to the signature line. It makes no reference whatever to your claim and video evidence, and it's deliberately misleading to claim that it did.
S&S said:
Are you the same person that said to me that was going to check the video at some friends that work at a tv broadcast?
Yes, I am the same person. I haven't seen the evidence yet, and on that basis have not ruled out the possibility of changing my mind once I've seen it.
S&S said:
Are you the same that I am waiting for your "investigation"?
Yes, that's me. As I told you before, one of my sources has family on the Gulf Coast, right in the path of the tropical storm that's coming ashore tomorrow. I'm not going to bother him with this now; he's got more urgent things on his mind. The other source, I've lost touch with over the last couple of years, and it's going to take some time to reestablish that relationship. As far as you waiting, you're going to have to wait. The world doesn't run on your personal schedule.
S&S said:
Oh, let's see here...you're running around shouting to whoever will listen that Randi won't publicly speak about your claim...why should he? You're the one who's demanding they speak out about you. That sounds like publicity to me. What kind? Beneficial to you; it makes you look like the injured party.
S&S said:
Of telling the truth about a poor answer received from the JREF about my application?
Here we go again. An answer you don't agree with is not necessarily a poor one. The answer you got matched the facts. Your claim to the Million Dollar Challenge doesn't match the requirements. I quote in total Section 1 of the Million Dollar Challenge Rules:
1.Applicant must state clearly in advance, and applicant and JREF will agree upon, what powers or abilities will be demonstrated, the limits of the proposed demonstration (so far as time, location and other variables are concerned) and what will constitute both a positive and a negative result. This is the primary and most important of these rules.
Okay, what power/ability do you claim? To see an unidentified blur on a videotape? That's normal eyesight, nothing paranormal. What will constitute a positive or negative result of testing? Yup, there's something on the tape, and we're not sure what it is. I see that unidentified blur, too. On that basis, I could file a co-claim with yours and apply for a fast half-million...of course, everyone who reads this will get in on the act, and by the time it's over, we're goint to get about $1.35 apiece...
Face it, Carlos, you haven't personally claimed abilities out of the ordinary...and claiming that the unidentified blur is something paranormal is something that you haven't proved.
S&S said:
Of the silence of Harter and Randi about my challenge and the poor method they used?
Why are they obligated to speak out in public about this claim? They responded to you, and that was all that was required. Why do you want them to proclaim to the world that your application is not valid (or however they phrased it)? Why do you want them to publicize this matter? Why do you want publicity?
S&S said:
I am here at randi's forum "twofaces" Chalie of Dayton", And I am not telling this in another stupid and charlatans web site. I didn't post the thread. I don't have a web page.
Again, get the name right.
Why do you constantly refer to me in the IRC chat room, and again above, as two-faced/twofaces/etc?
I agreed to listen to what you had to say, and to view the tape (assuming I could find it). As far as who posted the thread, their opinion is their opinion. My posting or not posting to it says nothing about whether I agree with them or not. You make an unwarranted presumption. And while you don't have a web page, apparently you have no objection if others establish them for you, complete with inflammatory page names such as "Is James Randi A Liar?".
S&S said:
Publicity??????? and you think you are thinking.
Yes, I am thinking, and what I'm thinking is that your actions to this point have nothing to do with researching the paranormal, but have much to do with publicizing you.
S&S said:
I hope this case will be expose at the "amazing meeting" using the correct methods, so you all can tell who is afraid.
I hope the same thing, Carlos. Let's get it out in the open. Come to Florida. Bring your evidence. Play the tape. Let everyone make up their mind.
If you were truly interested in doing this, your efforts would have been focused in that direction instead of whining about how you've been mistreated.
S&S said:
Your post was quoted in total, unedited. I responded.
Now, I'm going to take you to task for how you've treated me. Insults, both here and in the chat room (and I've logged what was posted there; it's available as a text file for anyone who wants it, from session opening to close); insults in English, and apparently in Spanish. You decide to have little side conversations in another language at my expense with latinijral; my Spanish is very poor, but I do recognize a few words, and they were uncomplimentary at best.
Speaking of latinijral, it would be best for your cause if you reined your sock puppet in. He's not helping you prove your case. The establishment of that aforementioned web page
Is James Randi A Liar? has pictures of the documentation sent to the Foundation, but nothing from them in response. The pictures of "The Association of Brainless Clowns" is a nice little Photoshop essay, but otherwise detracts from the cause; there's no other defense of the claim than to make fun of those who don't agree? Not professional in any case.
Carlos, your smug, self-righteous, intellectually superior attitude is taxing at best. Your constant demands for answers to questions without specifying what the questions are is irritating. Your refusal to answer questions posed to you is rude. Your insistence that things happen on your schedule is insufferable.
Your claim to the Million Dollar Challenge has been ruled invalid, by those who administer the Challenge, and according to the rules of the Challenge.
Your claim that something paranormal is occuring on the videotape is extremely if not fatally weak.
You have to do better than this.
