Apparently I am the "debunker" that :

Takes what XX posts and turns it against you........ then points at you, starts his Nelson impression from the Simpson’s and says "HA HA!".


Bah! I was going for the Monty Burn's type

Excellent!

Hello,

I have been labeled a 'professional' debunker, and part of the grand 'ILK' conspiracy. I wonder how one would put that on a resume? How does one get *hired* for such a position? I have never seen 'Debunker' in the want-ads...? Are there *degrees* in debunking?

What is even more amusing is that now all *sorts* of posters have suddenly become me; even though I only post under my name. I must have an unbelivable supply of No-Doz; or about 14 gallons of Jolt cola; and being a debunker must pay pretty well; else I might actually have to go out and EARN a living... and my ACTUAL clients would be most disappointed if I weren't fixing their systems...

I have continually pointed out that I only post as me; and yet they hold onto this particular delusion. I wonder why? I wonder why people need to post under multiple handles? I wonder what doing such would *accomplish?* It seems to me that if you point out flaws in an *idea,* it doesn't matter how many people are for it or against it: the flaws remain.

Strangely; this isn't the first time I have seen this pattern. In the old Y2K days, I used to post on forums that were convinced that the End was Nigh; and pointed out reason why it wasn't. They, too, started accusing every anonymous poster of being me; even though, again, I only posted under my own real name, just like now.

Anyhow, various epitaphs seem to fly at GLP; professional debunker, paid debunker, government debunker, etc. I have been complimented on my politness, and my very careful explaining and re-explaining of the June 8th transit; which has been nice; and another similarity to the Y2K debate. (I was once referred to as polite, and refreshingly droll... ) So I figure I can keep going. After all; only 77 more days until (more) absolute evidence that the Earth is precisely where it is predicted to be, in the form of the Venus transit. Nancy is STILL claiming that you need SOHO to see it. Sigh.

Take care, everyone.

hehe good job.. its weird, just a year ago, i kinda thought that crazy ideas like the pyramids of egypt were built by aliens, the face on mars, bigfoot, etc. now thanks to the badastro, i am turning into a debunker

The stupidity at GLP is too much for me to bear so I dont post there. I only view occasion threads linked from here.

Your probably better off that way. It takes ALOT of patience to not post things like :

You #$@# morons!
You cannot seriously beleive that garbage? :x
Have you ever done a web search in your life?

So far I have been successful in not being rude or demeaning. It dose take quite a bit of patience, a lot of aspirin and a flame retardant suit to do so though.

I've been moderately successful in my posts. I think the trick is to avoid a head-on confrontation with the other person's ideas. If they want the orbital elements of Sedna to improve the horoscopes, fine, I give the orbital elements. What they do with them is their problem, frankly.

The only person who took issue with my postings was in fact Nancy Lieder, but then, she's getting more paranoid with every passing day, it seems. :roll:

I wouldn't spend too much time on GLP, but at least I've attempted to insert a little bit of sanity there...

I have been over there a few times. Rather quiet now. Have been trying to debunk the ridiculus Yellowstone Park claims lately. I'm just labeled as one of the ususal debunkers.

Yet again I'm extremely glad my company's internet program correctly identifies it as the fluff it is and has locked it out yet lets me here. 8)

Brady Yoon out of curosity, were you a GLP user that came here?

I've wondered how many there do come here and "see the light". Kinda why I try not to trash it too much, which is easy, I don't go there often so nothing for me to trash. The few times I have though...

I love the way they (the yellowstoners ) are screaming about the worst. They obviously don't know how a caldera works. You wont see a rise in elevation of the area above the magma chamber before the eruption. The whole point behind a caldera is that the lava cannot get out and the land above the chamber cannot stretch any further.

So the magma builds up in pressure over time (while that mound over the chamber remains silent and the same size) until something cracks and it goes BOOM!

I thought about saying that to them, but you know how the GLP doomsayers are. :wink:

I'm the "savage debunker" who makes a BFD about 'obvious typos' in their survival manual. See my .sig for details.

I thought a high school diploma is all that is required to "debunk" NL?
