Big Grin I have a reason that prompted me to buy this, lest I be judged, I'm not sharing. But, I'm mainly looking to have fun with it. In looking at the reviews, some purchasers gave it 3 stars, because it failed to pick up any ghosts. lmao! That's not the product's fault. I thought that was funny.

It is under $30 so not expecting too much; there are ghost recorders that are $100 and up.


If anything develops, be sure to report in "Weird & Beyond". Seems like MR was once planning to spend the night in a haunted guest-house (in Washington), and providing an account of it afterwards. But the scheduling or something didn't work out.

I think MR believes that the eye witness accounts are factual. But why get so mad about it, Syne? Are you always seeking to ''win'' or do you ever just relax, and listen to another person's point of view? 

Rolleyes

Yeah, at this point, I think you're completely full of crap.

Again, go read those conversations. I don't get mad, I just keep explaining what qualifies as evidence and fact. Until MR gets butt-hurt and pissy.

But I'm sure you'd much rather just keep talking out of your ass.
It's odd that you are more upset that I called out sexist behavior on SF, than the sexist behavior itself. Hmm. 
The point you're missing is, if he didn't conduct himself as a sexist, there'd be no issues. But, blaming me for saying something, I guess that's your version of being intellectually honest lol

how do you change the school yard bully from being the bully ?
you walk up and smash them in the face soo hard they take a week or 2 to recover from the injury.
(are you going to go and change their home life and remove the violent fear based behavour normalisation and abuse from their family life or just sit by and enable them to continue abusing weaker children? while teachers and adults play guilt games selling out their own guilt by lying and pretending words make a difference)

99.99% of people do not have the intellectual skills to turn a predatory fear based environment into a peaceful emotionally safe environment.
but they cant ever admit that because they have all sorts of ego problems and fear layered in fears and things they do to abuse others emotionaly to feel ok about them selves...etc etc i could go on and on but im not going to.


you dont tell them, its ok that they probably didnt mean to violently victimize all those children smaller and weaker than them and then give them an opportunity to go and victimise those same children again.
thats just being a child abuser  by using another person to abuse the children.

many people enjoy violence and also set their kids up into violent situations specially children beating up other children to try and harden them up to be dominent in the adult world...
(it is an adult problem played out through children as being punching bags)

the problem with bully's is the culture that enables them giving them the green light to go ahead and victimise the next weak emotionally insecure women to come along into their predatory reach.


where is the good ol right wing battle cry of "bringing them to justice" gone ?


remember wegs, every time you engage with a misogynist you enable them because they are effectively a narcissist who needs to injure others to feel good about themselves.
 
bigotry normalises violence & predatory behaviour toward adults & children remember that

so people bought the recorder, said it didnt work, but gave it 3 gold stars anyway...
what use is the rating system when a fail = a very good mark on the test results ?
those ratings systems are a scam.

The ONLY sexist thing you've shown me was that video, which I totally agreed with you about. That should have been removed instantly, even if only because SF has no age/content warnings. But then, we don't have one here either, and you felt it was appropriate to post this:
(May 29, 2019 03:01 PM)Leigha Wrote: [ -> ]I mean, the ''artist'' in the video is singing about ''how he likes his p***y'' and ''t***y fucking,'' to share a few of the lyrics.
Rolleyes You arguably censored two words that TV wouldn't but let the f-bomb fly.

I keep asking you to show me objectively sexist posts. You keep wanting me to do your work for you, even though you should be the one to know exactly where they are. If you make the claim, it's on you to support it. The point YOU'RE missing is that you haven't even shown he was sexist, aside from making an appeal to a consensus among people motivated to dislike him. If YOU didn't take offense and make it an issue, there'd be no issue.

Blaming you for causing someone to be censored when you're too lazy to show why is intellectually honest.

Like anything else...don't expect responsible adults to punish people unless you can prove they've done something wrong. Oh right, I seem to remember you being on the wrong side of Kavanaugh too. Again, you're right at home on SF. I have no idea why you stayed away from there.
I don’t think so, Syne. But think as you wish. It feeds your narratives. I don’t need your affirmation that I did the right thing. Read the abortion threads and others. But, he apologized and I thought it was kind and I told him so. I think it ended up being positive in the end.

@ CC - I’ll definitely share my findings. Smile MR, did you end up going?

How many pages of this thread to the contrary? Rolleyes

What part of "I don't really visit that site" don't you get? Quit being so lazy. Dodgy

And all this "narrative" nonsense is you thinking what you wish. You can correct any of my assumptions at any time, and god knows I've asked enough.

You make good points, RS. The thing about bullies is that most of them are insecure, and if they'd work on self reflecting, bullying would naturally fade away. 
Re: the recorder. lol Yea, I'm of the opinion that amazon should have moderators to approve only reviews that make sense. There are so many product reviews out there, that give a great product three stars simply because it was delivered late. That's not telling me if you like the PRODUCT, though. Sigh.
So, people are feeling bullied? Interesting.
Speaking in generalities.

It reminds me of a friend of mine who thinks that there is no such thing as ''online bullies.'' He'll say ''how are people bullied online? Just log out.'' Of course, he's right.
When I was a kid, there was a significant difference between being teased or threatened and being bullied. The later is the only one that included physical violence. Sticks and stones, you know.
True, but words can sometimes wound. I'm getting stronger, myself and have learned that being challenged doesn't mean ''bullied.'' I used to think so. Blush

#progress

Were you ever bullied as a kid, Syne? I think we all have been ''teased,'' as you say.
