StopSylvia Email: "Well Done, Mate"

[RSLancastr]

G’day Mr Lancaster

I found your site, directly or indirectly, via The Skeptic’s Dictionary and have thoroughly enjoyed going through the whole thing. Although I had doubts about paranormal things as a youngster, my path to becoming a skeptic was along these lines (in order): Peter Brookesmith, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Robert Todd Carroll, Philip J Klaas and James Randi. With your permission I will add your name to my list of favourite skeptics.

Apart from giving me a great way to kill the quieter hours at work and allowing me to examine the research that has been done in various fields which I knew little or nothing about, I also noticed that a lot of the subjects that good skeptics detail come from a very morally concerned base.

I have had a healthy dislike of cold-reading frauds for a long time now, but didn’t know what an evil monster Sylvia Brown is until I found you. You seem to have approached your work in a fair and professional style.

Sir, I applaud you and will certainly keep my eyes open for anything from you that I might see in the future.

Congratulations on a great and worthy site Mr Lancaster.


I only share it here because it was a bright spot in an otherwise dim week for me.

Very cool, being added to a list like that! :)

Glad you post these positive ones too. Hope you'll post them even on a good week! It really is nice to be reminded that people like this are out there, too.

You wrote that very well, RSL!

Very cool indeed, but not all that deserved, in my eyes. Most of them have decades of contribution to the field,and several books. I have about five years and two web sites. But I will gladly ride on their tailcoats.
