SCEPCOP Forum Scientific Committee to Evaluate PseudoSkeptic Criticism of the Paranormal 2009-08-30T20:46:26+08:00 https://www.debunkingskeptics.com/forum/feed.php?f=20&t=394 2009-08-30T20:46:26+08:00 2009-08-30T20:46:26+08:00 https://www.debunkingskeptics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=394&p=3890#p3890 <![CDATA[Re: Should we change SCEPCOP's acronym? See new proposal here]]> Well since the vote in favor of the new acronym is 4 to 0, I guess we should change it.

Now the question is, which of the new acronyms to choose? Here are the two proposals.

Purple Scissor suggested:
"SCEPCOP - Scientific Committee for Exposing, Preventing and Correcting Organized Pseudo-Skepticism"

But I think this version should be shortened to: "Scientific Committee to Expose, Prevent and Correct Organized Pseudo-Skepticism" to eliminate the superfluous "ing" in every word.

Brian Josephson, the 1973 Nobel Prize Winner in Physics, suggested this one:
"SCEPCOP - Scientific Committee for the Exposure of Pseudo-Skeptical Criticism of the Paranormal"

I think "Criticism" sounds more civil and professional than "Cynicism" so it definitely looks like it'd be an improvement. However, I'm not sure "exposure" is the right word since it sounds like getting publicity. So I think this version should read: "Scientific Committee to Expose Pseudo-Skeptical Criticism of the Paranormal"

Anyway, I will be sending this thread into the General Discussions board and posting a new poll with the two new acronyms to choose from.

Stay tuned.

Thanks,
Vinstonas

See new proposal here]]> Scientific Committee for Exposing, Preventing and Correcting Organized Pseudoskepticism. Alternate to "Preventing" is "Protesting," but I thought that sounded as though we come from a weak position. The word "Organized" is in there because it fits the letters of SCEPCOP, and does not mean, of course, that we only challenge pseudoskepticism when it is organized.

See new proposal here]]> Purple Scissors and I have been discussing what path SCEPCOP should take. Among his many proposals, are this new logo which changes the acronym in SCEPCOP. See below. What do you think? Does it sound better than the current one?

Cast your vote above.
