When informed of Geller's payment and dismissal of the appeal, Prometheus Chairman Paul Kurtz stated, "Naturally we are relieved; it's been a long and difficult two years, but it also shows the importance of fighting for what you believe in. It seems Mr. Geller's alleged psychic powers weren't working correctly when he decided to file this suit." Ver Ploeg said that the result "seems to suggest that Mr. Geller has little prospect of employment as a consultant in the prediction of legal results."

Wow, that's a lot of questions. Do you really expect Latinijral to answer all of them? |

Hahaha! Wow.
That was the most interesting exchange I have witnessed for quite a while. 
Latin, I don't need to be a professional to see a little insanity in your posts. Like this:
This is you:
"Of course URI give a shit about what a bunch of people at SFN think of him."
This is you TWO POSTS LATER:
"I make it clear to you ,URI don't care what SFN thinks of him or any psedo skeptic cult or society."
Split-personality disorder in my professional opinion 
And I will join with Dude, Ricky and BigPapaSmurf:

Even your ghosts of Randi and Carlos appeared here.
See? Just read that. He's strawman-ing away like a pro. He may not even realize it. But it is ever so clear that he is (if it's possible) MORE mentally dense than verlch!
Is DUDE the one who hijacked this thread about URI in the first response of the OP?
Is DUDE the one who is looking ghosts of Randi and Carlos in this URI topic?
Is Dude the one who has fear to answer simple questions about URI ?
Is Dude the one who has the permission of Dave ( the SFN administrator forum) to come here with his nonsense?
All the answers are : hmmmmmmmmm…( put your favourite answer here : )
Trust me. I am not being sarcastic.
Loser.
P.D.
Look at filthy, at least he has only the mistake of the misinterpretation of my OP.
Like others, he thinks that I came here to defend URI, he thinks that I don't know about URI tricks ( even that I wrote where those tricks were originated),he thinks I believe in URI's paranormal powers, he thinks he discovered the warm water about URI,etc.
The only problem of these kinds of posters is their absence of evidence.
That is why I am literally laughing at them.
Think people ,think.

A) You were on topic.
B)You didn't name Randi or Carlos.
C)You expressed your opinion about URI ---#61664; you don't care is he is still doing the same frauds and “laughing” to all the ones who thought he was “eliminated”.
D) You just care about Latinijral and what the new scepticism can do to “eliminate” all kind of fraudulent people.
Son ,you have potential ( in the middle of all the pseudo skeptic posters who had trouble to focus in the topic).

Dude is the one who asked you the question months ago that your refuse to answer.
The fact that you still refuse to answer it says all that anyone ever needs to know about what you are in relation to skepticism.
So, one more time....
What is "the new skepticism", and what qualifies you to be it's "father"?
Answer!

I KNOW! Isn't it amazing, Shacal?! A Direct contradiction in only two posts! You hope that a person like that would make sure she or he got back on her or his meds soon! |

A)Correct
B)Correct
C)Partially correct. I don't much care about Uri Geller. However I have no idea what he's doing these days, whether or not he is laughing at anybody, or if anybody thought he was eliminated.
D)Wrong. I seriously doubt you or the "new skepticism" can eliminate anybody. And I think your obsession with this need to eliminate all kinds of fraudulent people is very unhealthy. |

Then kindly explain, if possible, exactly what your meanings are. Some of us, myself for example, are not very well educated and require enlightenment. And when you've finished that explaiation, there is this to deal with:
You have debunked the old skepticism, or so you claim. Then what pray do you have to replace it with, other than bullshit?

I would be satisfied if he answered just one.
And he doesn't even do that. Methinks he can't even answer one of these questions  |

Your lack to provide evidence just proved the contrary of what you first thought. Simple like that.
So I will keep on laughing to the people who thought the same you did.
You learned a lesson son ,please don't do the same mistake again.

Your question is already answered in my other thread about the tactics of the old scepticism.
I will wait for your evidence.

Latinijral, you really do have an English comprehension problem. Ricky's question was general, so obvioiusly he wants a general answer.
What, in general, do you think of Uri?
Since Ricky's question was general, one could even extend the question to be read in the context of this thread, thus:
What do you think of Uri, is he a fraud, and if so: why?

You have shamed me, you say? How very quaint! When did you do this? Why haven't I noticed?
It is not I who needs to provide evidence -- I have made no claims other than the one below and the evidence for that is to be found in every thread in which you have been involved. I have merely asked a question, to wit:
You have debunked the old skepticsim, or so you claim. What pray, do you have to replace it? Tilting at Will o' the Wisp will not suffice.
I piss flaming nitromethane on your straw man!
