Debunker; People have called me a cynic. I am<\/em> scornful of some people. Does that make me a cynic? Sometimes; I might not validate you, I won\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t agree with you, unless you say something that I can agree with. When you don\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t I don\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t.<\/p>\n Is that cynical?<\/p>\n Am I a debunker? No doubt.<\/p>\n Debunkers comprise the most virulent of contemporary self-described\u00a0 \u201cskeptics? There is nothing inherently unsound about debunking, contrary to the many appeals on behalf of the\u00a0 side of any given paranormal controversy. But in order to debunk, the subject being debunked must be bunk. Valid, substantiated evidence cannot be debunked until new evidence supplants or alters it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This is certainly true. Debunking is simply finding the truth from the bunk. Finding the truth that something is bunk.<\/p>\n Is that a bad thing? Not in that light.<\/p>\n When I debunk something, I have a reason. I don’t just do it because I dislike you. I might pay more attention to your web page if I dislike you. If you flame me I’m probably going to flame you back. If you deal with me in a reasonable manner, ‘m likely to be very reasonable. There is evidence to support this.<\/p>\n Am I a skeptic? Am I unreasonable? Is that unreasonable? However; here is the crux of the issue;<\/p>\n I question myself–lots more than most people. Probubly more than you question yourself. Do you do that?<\/p>\n My detractors never ask those questions. At least, they never seem to based on the letters they send me. Too intent on blaming others they must not have time for self reflection. To intent on saying I’ts not my fault, it’s THEM that caused it.! They apparently have few recursive thoughts, they don’t self reflect. There is evidence to support this.<\/p>\n They take no responsibility for the place they are or the people they have become.<\/p>\n I pity them. They seem to have little to say. They must find expression difficult.<\/p>\n They sound like children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some definitions Skeptic; One who instinctively or habitually doubts, questions, or disagrees with assertions or generally accepted conclusions.
