Magicians Who Endorsed Psychic Phenomena by George P. Hansen

James Randi is at it again, with the familiar skeptic meme that magicians are really in the know when it comes to exposing woo for the sham trickery it is. The logic in that perspective seems to be "since it can be faked on stage it's all fake." Scientists can learn much from this factoid, according to Randi, since magicians are trained to spot tom foolery and fakers, while scientists are not. Randi would have us believe the majority of magicians are on his side. However, George Hansen points out that not all stage magicians follow  the Randi party line:Magicians Who Endorsed Psychic Phenomena by George P. Hansen (Much thanks to The Daily Grail for links.)

"When Skeptics Attack for the Sake of Attacking"

A skeptic attacks a skeptic for giving skeptics a bad name. In this case, Ryan Dube takes Myron Getman to task for ridiculous -- and hypocritical -- attacks on Loren Coleman. Apparently the fact that Loren Coleman exists annoys the hell out of Getman. Who, by the way, likes to call himself "The Mad Skeptic."

From A Different Perspective: Philip Klass, Travis Walton and Steve Pierce, Part Two

Bigfoot Lunch Club: Skeptic Assumes Too Much in Cryptomundo Attack

Full Disclosure: Bigfoot Lunch Club is a contributor to Cryptomundo and we have the highest regard for skeptics. Skepticism, in our mind, requires discipline and rigor. We even have a few favorite skeptics we follow, Sharon Hill of Doubtful News and Brian Dunning of Skeptoid.com. These are two skeptics that are very good at articulating arguments and they do their research.

Then there are those who don't do their homework. This brings me to Myron Getman of The Mad Skeptic and Bobby Nelson from The Bent Spoon Magazine. Recently, Myron created a truly funny post that could have been respected as satire, had it not ventured into unfounded assumptions. The gist of Myron's argument is, "...Coleman and Craig Woolheater's favorite tactics to generate traffic -- SEO tactics and, more specifically, the use of keywords." Myron bases this assumption on his previous experience as an SEO writer.
