[Split]Psychic Sarah- split from: Interesting...

Ms shortcake...



1) I did NOT emerge from the woodwork....I am already well established and respected in my profession (never mind what the skeptics think)

2) I do NOT ramble

3) I do NOT have NPD.....thanks very much.



Alice...where do you get off diagnosing this, especially re someone you have never met and know nothing about? NOT very professional of you; nor very rational either....a classic case of pure PROJECTION me thinks....

(I am in fact the opposite of just about everything on that list above....)

So it took three months for your psychic powers to detect that someone was talking about you here? Welcome to the forum, anyway

Humm...and what profession would that be? Being a fraud psychic?

So why do you believe you have psychic powers since you have yet to find Madeleine McCann; how's that going anyway? Got an update you'd like to share?

Odd you claim not to have NPD, yet your actions seem to demonstrate otherwise don't you think?

Respected by other psychics? The psychics who have, like yourself, failed to find Madeleine McCann?

Now that is a quality I truly do admire, though your postings linked by Alice on other boards do not support your contention.

There is more evidence that you have NPD than there is evidence that you have psychic abilities. I am, of course, open to being proven wrong.


Originally Posted by psychic sarah

The same place you get off claiming to help in finding Madeleine when you have no such ability. Of the two actions, yours if far more reprehensible than Alice's.

This is what I was thinking. Not only did you search for references of yourself but you registered at a skeptics forum for the sole purpose of resurrecting a fairly ancient topic about yourself. And for the record, Alice wasn't diagnosing anything so much as posing a possible explanation for your posting style. Thanks for confirming her suspicions, by the way. :)

This post is proof you ramble. I am a beliver in god. However, I am skeptical to the people in "your feild" you mock god's name by playing the role of god, people who say they see event that will happen are full of it. God gave man free will, meaning that nothing is writen in stone so how could people see event to happen?

Sarah, just stick to writing for trashy tabloids and fantasizing about Bono. We're simply not interested in you anymore, and I for one am putting you on my short but select Ignore list.

Well I don't know about that but I do know that you're a congenital liar. The lies you've told are plain for everyone to see.

http://www.skeptics.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=1153&page=14

The times you've acknowledged the corrections I made when you lied about me are equally plain for everyone to see. The truth of the matter is plain for everyone to see. As are the subsequent times you've repeated your lies.

Repeating deliberate falsehoods whilst fully aware that they are false is lying. It's not being mistaken, it's not fibbing or telling little white porky pies. It lying. So when you later insisted that you weren't a liar that in itself was a lie. Experience should have told you that you'd be caught out in your lies. But no. You continued to lie despite this. That makes you a congenital liar. You just don't seem to be able to help yourself.

I championed your claim and tried to help you formulate testing protocols. I thought you were being given a tough time by some of the skeptics and defended you. Then, you took my friendship and twisted it to your advantage. You acknowledged my posts when I said that your continued misrepresentation of facts, personally involving me, was upsetting. It really was very personally upsetting. You didn't apologise. You didn't acknowledge that upset. You just carried one repeating your lies. And you call yourself sensitive! Liar. Way to lose a friend, girl. Way to lose a friend.

I don't know what label a professional psychologist would give you. I've certainly experienced you displaying most if not all of those NPD symptoms. I do know this for certain. You're sick. You're not healthy, you harm the people around you and you don't care.

So Sarah, what's with still calling yourself Psychic Sarah. I thought is was going to be Mystic Sarah from now on?

Can you imagine folks, a person who whilst posting under the name psychic Sarah has the audacity to say "I've never claimed to be psychic!" congenital liar. Can't stop herself.

It's not lying when a 'psychic' or 'mystic' is caught out. There are many other words to use to describe the process, but you can't possibly accuse them of being a liar.

Often it is us skeptics who have just remembered wrongly what has previously been said, or we just interpreted it wrongly. Even if you find a prediction in a newspaper website the day before it became a psychic prediction, that doesn't mean the psychic is lying. Psychics don't read newspapers, especially British ones when the psychic is based in Ireland. Oh no, definately not.

I too am a believer in GOD..indeed this work has consolidated my faith BIG time

I also believe we have free will...you are perhaps simply not understanding what I do; (which is a lot of writing ...plus helping people out when I can and when I am asked to do so....)

Of course you have the right of reply, but that doesn't address how you "happened upon" the remark. (I don't think "insiduous" is the word that best describes it nor the word you are looking for). I think it far more likely you actively search(ed) for references to your name.

Likewise, we have the right to question you for evidence supporting your claims.

Still likewise, you have the right not to provide the requested evidence.

Finally likewise, we have the right to conclude from your refusal/inability to provide such evidence that your claims are hollow.

I am not being rude now...just do not remember any such interchange

I am sorry ...wish you all the best..

(the names on sky changed from Psychic Sarah to Mystic Sarah because of a computer crash one fine day; nothing mysterious about it)


Anyway.....I wish you all well cos I don't want to get into all this again

I just wanted to exercise the right of replay with some one sneakily 'diagnosing' for me all over again on yet another skeptics forum...

God bless....xxx

I think that maybe the reference was to the fact that you still sign on as 'psychic sarah', when you repeatedly insisted you never claimed yourself as psychic.

On UK Skeptics I'm known as Matt.

You were certainly grateful for my efforts on UK Skeptics. You said you repsected my approach and appreciated it.

http://www.skeptics.org.uk/forum/sho...&postcount=442

In my ealrier post I linked to one of the many posts on UK Skeptics where I later detailed your lies.

To cut a long story short, you offered some lottery numbers you thought would come up. It turns out that those lottery numbers did indeed come up on the very next draw. On the face of it a 500 to one shot. After that I said that picking lottery numbers might form the basis of an interesting test and tried to negotiate a protocol with you.

It seems that negotiating a protocol and attempting to pass such a test was not what you had in mind.

I was alerted that on various message boards around the internet you were proclaiming that you had been set a test by Matt of UK Skeptics and had passed. You were informed that I was merely a contributor to a message board and not a representative of UK Skeptics. You were politely reminded that the demonstration was of your own device and any prospective test that I have mentioned was still in the protocol negotiation stage. You continued to post on site around the internet that you'd been set a test by Matt of UK Skeptics and passed it. You were politely corrected again and again even at one stage acknowledgeing the correction and saying you'd double check. The lies continued unabated.

But Sarah, you have been caught repeating what you knew were lies. If you do this then that's what you'll be called. You brought in on yourslef.

I was refering to you saying you didn't like the word psychic like here.

It's a shame you can't see how you invite this.

Good luck in your future endeavours. I hope that if you find people in the future prepared to analyse your abilities, you restrain yourself from the sort of behaviour which burnt your bridges with UK Skeptics. That way we might very well learn something amazing and at the very least you'll learn something special about yourself.

Sure, but as Garrette points out, the question is how you happened upon it. The thread in question had not been posted in for 3 months. I can think of no way, other than specifically searching for "psychic sarah", that you could have just "happened upon" it. Unless of course you are in the habit of reading old threads in forums which you do not participate on, and purely by chance found one of just a couple of threads that happen to mention you.

Hey, how is the Madeleine McCann case going these days eh? I must admit, I've missed the news flash that she's been found thanks to your efforts....

Though in today's news...seems you and some fraud Maggie Giono have a lot in common, both of you claim to solve cases yet show no results.
