Perhaps it's his lack of English? Nah, he's just really that dumb. Here it is again:

You know
even thought it is your native language and this is my 3rd language
it seems you fail to understand what cog. dissonance means and how people react to it

So.. im going to try to explain to you
You got that right.. Cog. Dissonance is when you hold 2 contradicting ideas and they cause discomfort
what you FAIL to understand
is HOW that discomfort will present..

When talking about how skeptics react to woo evidence, Some skeptics will laugh (not all) and some skeptics will put the article of a quack, i mean helmut schmidt down just like Susan Blackmore did.
If you brought me an article of why fairies exist, i will put it down too
why would i laugh? there´s many ways to react and express my cog. dissonance! it doesnt MEAN i have the idea of FAIRIES existing.. it means i feel discomfort in losing time in reading about something i know it doesnt exist, THAT´S COG. DISSONANCE

just like you will throw away a panflet of scientology or put it down
it doesnt mean you also THINK WE COME FROM XENU (perhaps you do, that wouldnt surprised me, you believe anything)

GOT IT?

i can tell you one thing.. The guys i know screaming cog. dissonance! at others are always the guys most aggraviated by it...

is getting really tiring this
the only thing we are doing is going in circles
i dont think you understand what cog. dissonance is and how people react to it
you think SHE HAS TO BELIEVE IN PSI which is not the case
she built a career in debunking parapsychologist experiments
and yes! she layed down the article to avoid cog. dissonance!
she has done tons of studies and found no evidence for psi
besides you are forgeting the article was from Helmid Schmidt who is a quack here is a link from diccionario para el esceptico
http://spanish.skepdic.com/adhoc.html.... ups i forgot you dont speak a 2nd language like me

and stop saying evidence for psi is overwhelming, you just sound like a radin puppet
go on and show that overwhelming psi evidence you keep mentioning that the CONSPIRACY OF EVIL SKEPTICS keep from the media and from getting mainstream in science... yep even radin states theres no many scientists studying those topics, could it be for the same reason we arent hunting fairies ?

GO ON ! and show us the overwhelming evidence for psi
are those the same that include uri geller or those that include the project alpha?

nah.. is better to diss about skeptics
like you try with wiseman and with blackmore

by the way, in case you havent noticed
is kind of funny the cog. dissonance happening between you and me
the irony....
you are gonna keep saying she shouldnt experience cog. dissonance and i am going to keep saying that yes she should
and that doesnt mean she believes psi is for real.
go on and dissect this comment ill be waiting for your overwhelming psi evidence

I'm going to write a separate topic that explains why ciscop is wrong in his assessment Blackmore's cognitive dissonance. It will be labeled 'Exposing a pseudo-skeptic's fallacies'.
