"There's an old saying; just because you're paranoid, that doesn't mean they're not out to get you. I have my own variation: just because you're insane that doesn't mean that things aren't slipping in unnoticed through dimensional gateways..." ~ Christopher Knowles (h/t to The Daily Grail for quote.)

On Cryptomundo: Some “Skeptics” Don’t Get It

Loren Coleman responds to a skeptibunkie's attacks: Cryptomundo Some “Skeptics” Don’t Get It

“Bobby The Paranormal Skeptic,” (a/k/a Bobby Nelson, above) writing for “The Bent Spoon Magazine,” penned a decidedly distasteful column entitled “Loren Coleman’s Cheap Attempt to get Hits on 9/11…” I certainly don’t view the universe the same way this guy does. Besides, he’s dead wrong about his facts.

Bobby posts these beginning passages:

Over at Cryptomundo, a website dedicated to all things cryptid related, owner and operator Loren Coleman wrote a post titled “9/11’s Forgotten Fatality: Robert Steele.”

Coleman shamelessly plugging his book, The Copycat Effect, pastes a paragraph about a man who was killed by an alligator attack in Florida.

I'm finding myself, more and more, criticizing people on our side. Why are these people even giving this "Bobbie the Paranormal Skepdick" the time of day in the comments section? They should ban his comments. It seems pretty obvious, at least to me, that this guy is a liar who is trying to manufacture a controversy out of nothing. All of this time that they are arguing with this dope can be spent strategizing about how to beat the pseudoskeptic movement. Too many people on our side deserve this, unfortunately. Am I blaming the victim? Yes. I do, however, think that sometimes it is okay to, at least partially, blame the victim:
