What smells bad is your silly assumption that strippers or people who worked with Penn are somehow unable to make an outstanding contribution to skepticism. And frankly anyone working to advance the goals of Jref or scientific understanding would qualify as such.

You are so sad.

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

I really wish you'd stop with your blatent lies that the people posting here are "fanatics" for Randi. The reality is that many here either a) had no knowledge of Randi before you started posting here, or b) were only vaguely aware of him. The reason most people here haven't bought into your sob story hook, line, and sinker, is because it's full if shit.

You should know also that the JREF schoolarship was ONLY for persons that made ana outstanding contribution to skepticism. Unless you consider that being ana stripper or Penn's girlfriend (70-20) is an outstanding contribution , then nothing happenned.


These are your assertion. However, as has been shown, it's not clear that this is the case. And as yet, you've done little to prove it besides link other rants in other forums.

quote:
carlos send his application in 2002. The JREF send a letter to Carlos in 2004. The JREF employees lied in their own forum after that "detali" was exposed by Carlos. Why?
He is not even in the list of the JREF prize applicants. Why?


Assuming what you're saying is true, what can we-- people who post at SFN-- do about it? None of us here have anything to do with Randi or his site. Indeed, few here are even very familiar with Randi or his cause. You ask why such and such has or hasn't happened. Why the fuck do you expect us to give any satisfactory answer?!?

In short, why the fuck are you posting here about this?!?

Sad is the way you also try to fix what the stripper did as an outstanding contribution to skepticism.

Do you know what was it? I am so curious . Why is a secret?

Perhaps because he had no claim whatsoever. Carlos should not have applied. That neither you nor he understand that simple fact is not the fault of the JREF or of Randi.

Just beacuse they hijaked the thread with insults and the Carlos thing.That was your excuse , now you are on the same topic. See? No problem at all.

You want me to prove the negative? You are the one , a self proclaimed skeptic , or the JREF that should tell what outstanding contribution she made. Until now : nada ( nothing).

"Not necessarily" opens a door to the oposite. Then , it can be fraudulent.

So your investigation is very weak. In the thread you closed I posted the links where you can find the answer. Go and read it.

But he did so in 2002. His application was recived and they NEVER told him it was invalid.He also recieved a letter from the JREF in 2004. The JREF researchers lied about it.It is a fact.
His topic is a tabboo.

No, because you went off-topic just as fast with insults in return.

Yeah, it took me closing the old thread to get things back on topic.

The JREF has no obligation to you - supposedly a non-member - to disclose anything about what they do. And since you're accusing James Randi of a crime, in this country people are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Thus, you are required to provide the evidence to support your claim that MoeFaux did nothing "outstanding" during her internship. If you cannot do that, it's not because anyone here is a "fanatic."
quote:
"Not necessarily" opens a door to the oposite. Then , it can be fraudulent.
But you need to demonstrate that it was fraudulent. It's not the default assumption.

No, I'm not going to read another 40 pages of people sniping at you and among themselves. Point me to specific posts on specific pages, and I'm more than willing to read them.

Baloney. You got a lot of requests for more information, which you failed to follow-up on. Your fault, not ours.

Not really, no.
quote:

Arrogant, aren't you?

Because you're now asking questions about Carlos' application to the JREF.

That's false. They told him he had no claim in 2004.

Lied on purpose, or did they makes mistakes?

Not here, it's not. Obviously.

Latinijral, I suggest that you get your meds updated. You need provide some emperical evidence supporting your claim(s), if you have any. Until then: Who gives a rat's ass if Randi gave money to some chick?

Who gives a rat's ass if he ignored some bullshit claim?
He probably get's hundreds if not thousands of those each year.

Incidently, if you can come up with evidence of fraud, you can get him hauled into court to answer for it. Did you ever think of that?

You are wasting your time spouting drivel here when you should be gathering facts to prosecute your case. But as you are here spouting drivel, and have been for some time, I must conclude that you have no evidence beyond that drivel.

Thus I advise: get the meds fixed and forget Randi. You'll lead a happier life.

Worried?!? Who said I was worried? ("What-- me worry?")

No, latinijral, I'm not worried. I'm a bit distressed that you can't get it through your head that no one here has yet to hold Randi in the high esteem, which you repeat ad nauseum.

I also find your whining about Carlos not being recognized for his bullshit claim to be oh so tired.

But no, I'm not worried. But really-- if you have nothing new to add, go away.

More questions for you, latinijral:

1) Are you now, have you ever been, or do you plan on being, a paying JREF member?
2) What is the name of another JREF scholarship recipient, from a year before 2003?
3) What did the scholarship recipient named for question #2 do that was "outstanding?"

Dear Dave:
1.- Irrelevant
2.- Sure......another one is Chris Bidlack...Is that name "familiar" to you? We can start a debate about nepotism in this pseudoeducational foundation....
3.- 2.-


P.S: I send an email to Randi last year asking for papers on the last TAM3.

ANd see his "amazing" answer:

Hello

My name is Elver Gonzalez from Chile, Southamerica.

My proposal is to share to skeptics how the "double speech" works in the

Is there a Sharp Line between Skepticism and Pseudoskepticism?

You must pay me $ 5000, like you did with Moefox.


Thank you

All I see is a very neat car, with someone who could be anyone in it.
Even so... who gives a shit if he paid this chick money?

SO FUCKING WHAT??? After all this time and all these posts, you have provided exactly nothing to show that Randi has committed any misdeeds. Therefore, I can only conclude that you have no purpose beyond harrassing and slandering Randi. What you might have to gain out of all this I can't imagine, but you comtinue on anyway like some whore pacing the sidewalk between clients.

Unless you can come up with evidence of misdeeds, You are slutting yourself out for nothing because nobody here buys blather.
