Did James Randi catch Sylvia Browne's financial corruption? Sylvia choose to break the law, and was caught by the law. Her bad advise in the kidnapping case did not affect the parent's pursuit of the victim. I personally wouldn't take her advise, but others are free to. Who's responsibility is that? Should we censor everything Sylvia says? No. Should we let Randi be the thought police? No.
But you're certainly welcome to blow things out of proportion because celebrity cases deserve special attention. TV is sending special messages to people to give their life purpose and meaning. I understand.
And if ciscop doesn't like being insulted, he probably should refrain from insulting others. I expressly asked that board rules be enforced, but was ignored.

For every person who reads this valuable book there are hundreds of naïve souls who would prefer to have their spines tingled by a sensational but worthless potboiler by some hack journalist of the paranormal.

Listen, ciscop, I know you have come here to defend skeptics, but this place is called "Debunking Skeptics". An entirely different meaning.  That is not logical. You say you are debunking skeptics, yet skeptics are the debunkers. You are not the Randi? Must analyze. Error! Error! Faulty! Faulty! Must sterilize. Ster .. i .. lize

ciscop isn't a Star Trek fan?
Heretic!
Re: Was Randi Wrong about Uri Geller?
I will not be assimulated
Randi was no researcher of the paranormal even though he tried half heartedly.... Shows over.

Ciscop - I couldn't stand Seinfeld when it first came on TV. I realize now that it has it's place in pop culture.
