Video: Audience member confronts Randi and 800 skeptics

I'm always very skeptical of any situation where someone's notability hinges on their connection to another notable person

Listen to all of the Overzealous Randi-ite True Disbelievers (TM) praising and cheering Randi and Friends (TM) with every response they make (regardless of whether or not it holds water), and shouting / laughing down the person making critical inquiry towards them. Notice also the room of Randi-ites laughing their asses off when the guy says that he too is a Skeptic.

It was as if I was watching a video where some guy confronts a Religious Leader about dishonest claims, and their Overzealous Flock shouts / laughs them down when they try to ask questions.

I have no opinion of the people they are referring to in the video who want to take the challenge (I know nothing about them, nor of their alleged paranormal claims), but the actions of the crowd is like that of being in a religious revival tent where the pastor is being confronted by a Skeptic.

They are laughin at a guy making a total arse of himself,regardless of any skeptical beliefs or loyalties towards Randi. Just like a heckler at a comedy show would get laughed at and jeered. There is a way to present your displeasure and a way to look a tit. The guy on the video(both presenting it and the one asking questions)look a tit.

I am proud to have been one of the two people who voted no on letting skeptics onto this board. I think that reading what someone like Azrael posted only strengthens my position. I think that Azrael is not interested in serious discussion and should be banned.

Do not put words in my mouth, General Zod. I do not appreciate it, nor do I appreciate being called "closed minded."
