Most reasonable people would take it as admirable that I can admit when a video is fake or mistaken. For you though it seems just more of an excuse for you attacking my character as.. what was it now?..full of shit? But like I said I could be a pathological lying scumbag and that doesn't effect the videos I post at all. That's the beauty of compelling evidence. It remains compelling and convincing no matter who posts it. That is if people are brave enough to actually look at it objectively and without bias.
Appears you don’t admit anything unless someone skeptical points out where you undeniably went wrong. Can you admit that Mr. Admirable?
Quote:Appears you don’t admit anything unless someone skeptical points out where you undeniably went wrong.
You mean as opposed to admitting I'm never wrong like you do? Yeah...that's called being open-minded. Try it sometime. Why don't you talk about the videos like other posters here instead of making me out to be some horrible person. You can only use me as an excuse for so long before it becomes painfully obvious.

Would you rather have a viewer go thru life thinking the guy dressed as a Sasquatch is proof the cryptid exists and not inform that person you made a big mistake? Ya, you are being a horrible person for withholding the truth or not even making an attempt to correct a false statement . I think your tactic affects people’s minds/worldviews, unconscionable behavior on your part. Try introducing your videos without claiming they’re evidence of whatever paranormal flavour that fits your cause that day. Try looking for the truth instead of acting like some kind of expert on things there’s no proof of.
You have a responsibility to the viewership to seek/tell the truth but if you get your jollies by contorting the truth then you are a phony, pure and simple. Can’t prove it but I think you have a financial stake in the paranormal business. I admit that your posts are some of the most responded to on the internet but not for what you pretend to care about. I’m sorry I wasted my time on some of the garbage you toss out there.
Quote:then you are a phony, pure and simple. Can’t prove it but I think you have a financial stake in the paranormal business.
Yeah..you're basically repeating yourself at this point. In the meantime I will continue posting what I think are compelling videos and will not hesitate to say that they are and why they are just as I have for many years now. If you can't handle the evidence for ufos/ghosts/bigfoot, then stay out of the Weird Section. If you can't handle people who believe things different from you then stay out of discussion groups. Can't say I will miss your off the wall explanations. Though they do make me laugh and prove to the world to what outlandish extremes some will go just to deny the obvious.
(May 16, 2025 04:35 AM)Magical Realist Wrote: [ -> ]So exactly how did me admitting there is a doorway there entail that it isn't a ghost but a senile intruder?
Straw man, as I never claimed it definitely was a senile intruder.
Quote:It's not relevant to anything. You could never answer my point about the intruder being unable to enter the home without being caught on video. Not to mention no senile intruder ever turning up when the owner came in and checked the video.
So you think this house has no backdoor or windows that could be accessed?
Where did you see a blueprint of the house?
Why on earth would an intruder hang around for the video to be checked?
You're grasping at straws.

You NEVER arrive at that conclusion on your own. It ALWAYS takes a skeptic to prove you irrefutably (note, using that word correctly) wrong.
That you require ACTUAL irrefutable evidence to change your mind but demand that others merely accept your evidence at face value, that makes you a piece of shit hypocrite.
If even half of these very very few examples of you admitting you're wrong were self-originating, only then would you be the least bit admirable.
You're not a lair, you're delusional. So mush so that maybe you can't realize the stark contrast between what evidence convinces you of falsity and what you think should convince others of the truth. But for other people, it really doesn't matter if your blatant hypocrisy is knowingly intentional or not. The result is that you're an insufferable ass preaching your woo piety.
Quote:You NEVER arrive at that conclusion on your own. It ALWAYS takes a skeptic to prove you irrefutably (note, using that word correctly) wrong.
Right..until the video is actually debunked. Why would I think the video was fake or a misattribution until then? Do you actually think making up stupid implausible scenarios to explain it is debunking it or showing it to be questionable. No..it isn't. Debunking means showing evidence, just like I am. And that never happens here.

You haven't refuted any of the videos posted in this thread so far. I'd say that pretty much makes them irrefutable. Unless you've come up with some more information about them. I'm all ears! lol

Delusional about what pray tell? Be specific now..
Quote:So mush so that maybe you can't realize the stark contrast between what evidence convinces you of falsity and what you think should convince others of the truth.
I'll admit the videos are fake or mistakes the moment they are refuted. Till then they remain authentic depictions of the paranormal. I would never post anything less.

My how quickly my so-called uncompelling and unconvincing videos reduce skeptics to vicious overdefensive potty mouths. It's abit sad to watch but I'm kind of enjoying it at the same time. It's like watching Drano fizz and dissolve a long stopped-up toilet! lol
YOU wouldn't think anything was awry, because you're a true believer. You assume it's all true as a given, regardless of its dubious quality, provenance, editing, etc..
Proving ghosts means showing ACTUAL irrefutable evidence. You just don't seem to comprehend the huge difference between what you accept as irrefutable and what you demand others to accept as irrefutable. It's called confirmation bias, and you have it in spades.
I have refuted them all, in the legal sense of supplying ample reasonable doubt. But... that requires a wee modicum of reasonableness.
You're delusional about all the videos, picture, stories, etc. that you presume cannot possibly be manipulated, fabricated, mistaken, etc. without you having any access to the raw and complete source materials. Not to mention the voices in your head.
Quote:I'll admit the videos are fake or mistakes the moment they are refuted. Till then they remain authentic depictions of the paranormal. I would never post anything less.
Exactly. You ALWAYS
presume they are legit. ALWAYS. And NEVER doubt until someone forces you to. In any honest investigation, you do not start with foregone conclusions.

Wait, I call you a dipshit all the time. Suddenly "ass" is potty mouth?
Like I said... piety.
Quote:I have refuted them all, in the legal sense of supplying ample reasonable doubt.
Right...so what was the explanation for the old lady ghost? How did she get into the house and into the back room? No evidence? Then it isn't refuted.
And why does the running boy make no sound on the wooden floor? He's really behind the wall? Evidence? No? Then it isn't refuted.
This isn't a courtroom moron. It's basic science. Show me the evidence they were faked or mistaken or admit they are unrefuted.
"Debunk is to prove something as false. You spend time giving evidence why something is not true.
Example: We debunked the flat earth theory by measuring the curvature of the earth."
Quote:Exactly. You ALWAYS presume they are legit. ALWAYS.
Well duh! Of course I do. That's why I picked them. Because they are legit. I'm certainly not going to post any I feel are questionable.

I haven’t debunked a single video. You on the other hand have done an admirable job of it. I told you long ago that the worst thing to use as evidence of the weird is photography. That still holds true.
The more vids you offer as evidence the more ridiculous the paranormal becomes especially with your commentary. How do you think you’re aiding paranormalists with a bunch of vids? Who is the actual target? Why would it be believers?
Quote:I haven’t debunked a single video.
We know. All you do is gripe how awful the video is and then start accusing me of all sorts of bad things. It's basically your MO. Like I've said before, if the evidence was so awful it wouldn't be inciting so much anger and hostility from self-proclaimed skeptics. I'm starting to think you are questioning your own worldview now. But either way it doesn't matter to me. People will doubt what they want to doubt no matter how irrefutable the evidence. Mine is the strength that comes from knowing.
Quote:I told you long ago that the worst thing to use as evidence of the weird is photography.
Yeah, but then you're the guy that came up with explanations like dogs running inside dryers and paper cutouts suspended with string, so we always consider the source.
