THE QUESTION WAS:
What do you think of famous debunkers like James Randi and Penn Jillette?
YOUR VOTES:
34% - They are valuable fraud watchdogs
0% - They are mean, petty bullies
33% - Their intentions are good but their methods are deplorable
33% - I have never heard of them
100%
Frankly, I had never heard of James Randi before I read Dr. Gary Schwartz’ book. Penn Jillette I knew from his magic act, Penn & Jillette, but I had no idea he was a debunker of fraudsters.
I wholeheartedly agree debunkers are valuable fraud watchdogs, but I voted for “Their intentions are good but their methods are deplorable” because I am a wuss at heart. Now don’t get me wrong. I have no problem standing up for myself or expressing my opinion regardless of whether I think it will be well received. I just hate watching people get humiliated, deservedly or not. I get all embarrassed for them and mad at them for doing something so foolish/mean/illegal in the first place.
And now you know why I cannot bring myself to watch Reality TV.
