Speaking of PalTalk, I wonder how long CaptainNibiru2003 will keep his room up. I'm in it right now, and there's 13 others there. I'll bet at least half don't believe in it, as I do.

By the way, my name online on PalTalk is tazmandevil3.

Man, this is sad...all they're talking about is the "big wigs" hiding in bunkers, how money will be useless, how people will go back to the bartering system, what locations will be safe when PX comes, and the funniest was when CaptainNibiru2003 said that the Vice President of the U.S. was digging a big hole in his backyard, apparently making his own bunker. Some of them are talking about how the members of the government are reptiles (must come from the Godlike Production Forums), and how they're hogging all the supplies to survive PX's passing...*sigh*

Haven't you ever noticed how George Bush sometimes goes "sssssss" mid-speech? Then there's the the tongue-flicking...

The inability to spell 'deceiving' obviously adds to the credibility that article

Haven't read the thread, so I don't know the context, but that about the vice-president is apparently true. 'Course, his house is the Naval Observatory, so it's hard to tell what they're building exactly.

Sorry, but you've completely lost me here.

This is some IRC-type thing, yes?
And someone has been opening chatrooms with daft titles?

I see.

Essentially, but there's a bit more to the story...

Paltalk is voice-chat software with text capability. One person in particular, with the user name "Captain Nibiru" has been opening rooms for some time to spread the word about Planet X, and has attracted many true believers... most of them utterly clueless (go figure). Several users (myself included) have opened rooms in the interest of separating fact from fiction, to demonstrate why the Px claims being made are utterly baseless. The devout Px faithful have not taken kindly to these efforts, and as a result, several periodically create locked rooms which show up on the Paltalk groups list -- "advertising" if you will, in an attempt to discredit the debunkers, or dissuade users from joining their groups.

I've just found delightful irony in seeing statements such as "PlanetX debunkers delusional...ill-informed!" and thought I'd share snippets of the ongoing Paltalk saga. :wink:

I don't know if thats true or not, but you're welcome to sue me when you can prove that my debunking claim is false. Of course, at that point a lawsuit would be the least of my worries, but there you go.

What exactly is a First Level thinker, by the way?

Kinda pegs the irony meter, doesn't it?

I was wondering the same thing.


*** Edited to add...

Out of curiosity, I went to ask the Px creduloids what the phrase means.
Apparently it's a phrase they say was coined by James McCanney, and it means "one who is not capable of 'thinking outside the box'; or, the belief that everything can be known/ascertained via the scientific method. See syn. @ closed-minded... lol.

Unfortunately, some who see themselves as "open-minded" merely have a mind unhinged...
