Here is how Christopher referred to Phillips: "One of the people that I modeled my approach after... One of the more important figures in the history of UFO investigation... A true pioneer.. The real deal." Reminds me of how he describes Childress.
I never said that I modeled my approach after DHC's. You remind me of a wanna be, kinder, gentler, slicker Phil Klass, so what?
Lance's posts got me to thinking, so I did a little digging. Here is a bit of background on Mr. Moody our open-minded sceptic: This suggests to me what his real agenda is...
"The Association for Rational Thought (ART), the Cincinnati skeptics group, has two ongoing projects: the newsletter, which we publish quarterly (we have changed its name from the Association of Rational Thought News to Cincinnati Skeptic), and the
Skeptical Blurbs program run by Lance Moody, our Media Resources Coordinator. We are assembling a file of short, clearly written summaries of what is reliably known about paranormal topics that turn up in the news, like ghosts, psychic powers, Satanism, and UFOs. Members write these blurbs for the areas they are particularly interested in.
When one of the group sees or reads about a news item on a paranormal topic, he or she tells Lance, and he faxes the appropriate statement. Lance has also appeared as the token skeptic on a local-access cable-TV talk- show run by believing UFO “investigators.” Joe Gastright, our Investigations Officer, does an occasional investigation, but to my knowledge, he has done these solo.
The group does not have an established investigations program." Figures.
This apparent agenda of rapid response debunking has nothing positive to offer these subjects. Period. They (the debunkers) have decided that these areas of research and study are all bullsh*t and they are making it their business to go after people in the field like junk-yard dogs. This is not my idea of "being part of the solution." This is friction producing and aggressive negativism, nothing more.
Your sarcastic manner and obvious agenda are getting old. Why don't you have psi-cops and /or ART assign you to another forum because you are becoming a real irritant to some around here. I know that this is the type of reaction you are seeking. This is a part of your agenda--passive/aggressive needling and baiting, and trying to get people to react, etc. so you can use their response as ammunition for more attacks, etc.
Here's what I'm going to do Lance: I am going to send you Ted's contact information. Why don't you start dogging him in person like you have been dogging him here. In the meantime I will give him a call myself and offer any and all help and assistance I can to get his data posted...NOT bitch, moan, insult and dog the man behind his back.
