With all due respect Gene, if Art Bell had never existed there's a good chance the Paracast (and many other current paranormal shows and podcasts) wouldn't exist. And as much as I think the Paracast has been a good show over the years, it pales against the totality of Bell's contribution to the...
I did read the reviews, Gene. I think the meaning of my post went over your head.
As the cliché goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words". Maybe this will help. :)
Gene, with all due respect, in re to Jacob's book having a high rating on Amazon: If popularity was a true measure of quality then Justin Bieber would be considered a musical genius.
Good show. It's a compelling topic that will continue to develop.
I recently found this fellow's software on reddit. I sent the info to Chris via a message but never heard back.
For those that are interested, he's developed a free "UFO Detector" software. It's not exactly the most advanced...
Goggs, well said. But the issue for me is more on the intellectual level and not "like a religion".
In re to tolerance, that's up for debate. I, for one, highly respect those who are in the middle and maintain an intelligence and insightful perspective on these subjects.
Maybe in time, and...
DaveM, I find the closing of threads to sometimes be tantamount to censorship. It's great that you're happy that the thread was closed, but you should also consider the fact that if you don't like a thread you don't have to read it. The same goes for anything on the Internet. No one is...
Gene, I understand, but the name of the forum section related to what is discussed on the show is “Talk About the Show”. Ergo, if you and the co-host discuss something on the show, logically you should allow the forum members to discuss the topic in the “Talk About the Show” section of the...
Gene, I'm shaking my head here. What is the logic in closing the Jacobs thread with the comment:
"And I see that having a civil discussion on this issue is impossible. The thread is closed."
Only to continue to talk about the issue in today's show? Really Gene?
Thanks Ron. It's a good forum. I agree. And the Paracast is a good show (for the most part).
I listen to every show, and every ATPC. I don't post often in the forums, certainly not as much as I used to many years ago, but I felt strongly about this guest and wanted to make some comments...
Yeah well, money talks Fibuli. And right about now I'm focusing on that.
In re to the Paracast, I'm a looong time listener and Gene and I have had our discussions/disputes in the past, usually with full respect on both sides.
Now if you look back at the opening post of this thread by Gene...
Well, Gene that's interesting but you don't pipe up and say anything! Instead you go after me for making what I found to be a rather softball comment about Jacobs' doctorate.
Okay then, that's it. Done. I'm cancelling my subscription to the Paracast Plus.
Thanks, but what happened in this instance is Gene called me out for my being surprised that Jacobs has a doctorate, yet in Gene's own newsletter he made a similar statement about some of the people in this field.
You are correct, calling someone "worthless" (forum member cosmonaut's post) is...
