196. OK, I am going to say this once more...
...and hopefully, that will be the end of it: My problem is not with Randi debunking frauds. My problem is with him being an obnoxious jerk about it. I am not biased against him because I'm a believer, I am biased against him because I consider him a publicity-hungy egotist. Hopefully, this is actually clear now.

The JREF test: I found one through run-through of the rules which outlines the problems with them: HERE, another where Randi refuses to accept a challenger, seemingly because there was a fair chance of him beating the test: http://www.alternativescience.com/randi-retreats.htm">HERE.

No, I haven't seen his movie. Since I dislike the man with a passion, why would I want to see his movie? I refuse to see Ben Stiller's movies too, for much the same reasons.

You're trying to paint me here as some delusional believer with a grudge against Randi for debunking charlatans. Should I then respond by painting you as so possessed of the "world according to Randi" that you will attack the character of anyone who doesn't support him? No, I will simply state, yet again, that my problem is not with what Randi does but with the way he does it.
