For those of you who are on the internet infidels board, there is a thread with some folks dumping on Randi in their Science and Skepticism forum. Of course, this being on the infidels board, the dumpers are not doing very well.

Just FYI.

I would imagine the shorter list would be paranormal boards without threads attacking Mr. Randi.

That would, I suspect, be a zero-length list.

Just so it's clear, infidels is not a paranormal board. You may have realized that, but I want to be sure.

I would bet that there are whole big groups of paranormal believers who have never even heard of Randi. Awareness is not their forte.

I'm getting an "R" name...um, Richardson, perhaps? No? Hmmm, it's definitely an "R," though. Roberts? ...

This thread?

James Randi is like Kent Hovind (http://www.iidb.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=99402&page=4&pp=25)

I skimmed through it, and the attackers seem to be pretty much armed with wet noodles...

Or is there another one..

I should have spoken more clearly. I meant to refer to boards that discuss paranormal topics rather than paranormal boards per se. This gaffe was, I agree, unforgivable. I shan't hesitate to do what must be done.





























BANG! Thud.

Yeah, that's it, charging forth with their wet noodles at the droop, trying to slap people and leave some starch on them, basically. You found it.

I agree, they're not particularly adept, and I must say I enjoyed the response from the infidels.

That thread is pretty much a slaughter upon the original accusation.

Noooo! Don't do it! Anyone can be too terse! Ed knows I can be.
