Randi lost CONTROL over his own challenge, the deluded fool

See the URL below to see how we stopped the CHALLENGE as the little fraud would obviously not pay up:

Yay, another loony!  Hopefully this one will stick around and keep everyone entertained for a while longer.

THE DIVINE MONSTER:
Century III, Quatrain 34 {Benoist Rigaud edition de 1568}

Quand le deffaut du Soleil lors sera
Sur le plein iour le monstre sera veu:
Tout autrement on l’interpretera,
Cherte’ n’a garde nul n’y aura pourueu.

When the eclipse of the Sun will then be,
In broad daylight the MONSTER will be seen
Everyone will differ on the interpretation,
High price unguarded: none will have prepared.

SYMBOL OF THE ANTICHRIST......

And I want to quote entire from here because it is ALL-IMPORTANT....

http://wordinfo.info/words/index.php?v=info&a=view_results&s=monster

monstr-, monst-
(Latin: an omen; a supernatural manifestation; hence,
“horrific-supernatural being; supernatural manifestation”

Primarily used in medical references to a fetus or an infant with
substantial physical abnormalities considered by some to be like a
“monster”.

“Regardless of the form a monster takes, all monsters have one thing
in
common: they are all awe-inspiring, even frightening, by virtue of
some
aspect of their physicality or personality. In fact, the word monster
comes from the Latin monstrum, meaning ‘an evil omen’ which in turn
seems to be a derivative of the verb monere, meaning ‘to warn,
remind’.”

Webster’s Word Histories;
(Springfield, Massachusetts: Merriam-Webster Inc., 1989).

If they think that a six-legged lamb is a portent of doom, I can really freak them out…

the WORLD TRADE CENTER painted on the HOUSE OF NOSTRADAMUS is pretty STRANGE......

You know… We could probably delete every webpage with ‘SYMBOL OF THE ANTICHRIST’ and ‘ALL-IMPORTANT’ and improve the internet immensely.

I find it offensive that this little troll is claiming that he and his cronies are those responible for the ending of the James Randi Challenge.

Main reason Randi’s discontinuing the challenge is that A: It’s become a major hassle. He’s sick and tired of people claiming he won’t pay the money, etc. B: He’s had NOBODY put forward a valid claim that’s willing to be tested under cientific conditions. You’d think there would be one or two people who might be self-deluded enough to think they could, but.. and C: He’s getting on in years, and probably would like to donate the money to some worthy cause.

By the way, can we move this to Conspiracies? This person obviously thinks that his ‘people’ had enough ‘power’ to force Randi to stop.

When I first saw this, that was my inclination.  But I didn’t get a chance to actually see the site linked and the “claim” at the time, so refrained from doing so.

Now that I have, I’ll agree that this deserves to be moved and do so.  If another Curator disagrees they can move it back I guess.

Beat you…

You sure?  It didn’t tell me I couldn’t perform the function.  And was still showing in OTCC when I moved it.

*Shrug*

At least neither one of us left it as a shadow topic.  That (usually) annoys me since the shadow topic gets bumped up the forum when the real thread gets posts.

*Shakes fist at shadow topics*

BS. Randi’s challenge has been running for over 40 years. He had *TOTAL CONTROL* OVER IT, AND HE DECIDED ON WHO AND HOW THE TEST WAS CONDUCTED....

Now he surrenders the whole thing...don’t you find it strange…

we know why he LOST CONTROL OVER HIS *OWN* CHALLENGE.....

Wait.  He had total control?  But he lost control?

So if he lost control, how does he have the control to cancel it?

And, yes:

HE DECIDED ON WHO AND HOW THE TEST WAS CONDUCTED

If it’s his challenge and his money that he was paying he would have the say in what criteria needs to be met in order to pay that money.

Would you be willing to put up your own money for the same type of thing, but leave it arbitrarily up to the challenger whether they passed the test and you had to pay them?

No, you wouldn’t.  You would want and have control over the challenge and what had to be done for you to pay your money.

And if you answer that as yes you would be willing to do that, then I suggest you start your own website, offer up that challenge and see how quickly someone claims your money.  You won’t have it very long, I promise.

something for you folks
