Hi,
Just to introduce myself. I was lured up to BrumSkeptics (briefly) for the @Singh talk (which I missed but made the Q&A bit). I tweet as @jin_shei, previously Tiamat_r, live in Gloucestershire, and am a nurse.
Hello to everyone. I was visiting here from the JREF and found your forum quite interesting, so I decided to join you. I'll need to lurk quite a while, but I'm interested in a wide variety of topics, politics not so much.
Just wanted to greet forum members ‘out of character’ for a moment and provide some idea as to what exactly is going on.
Whilst my posts may appear completely unhinged, their ultimate aim is to encourage people to think for themselves, to ask questions, and to stop accepting the managed rhetoric of life’s scammers – exactly what I imagine most contributors to this forum seek to achieve.
I believe that one of the most effective ways to challenge face-value acceptance of far-fetched claims is to satirise them. I also feel that wacky presentation can engage people who wouldn’t normally consider an opinion contrary to their own. My posts are experimental, obviously, and I know they won’t be to everyone’s taste, but my hope is that they'll add another facet to the wealth of material already in place on UK-Skeptics.
It's hard to know how you'll be perceived as a newcomer in a different environment. I am a member of another forum (completely different subject matter), but they're well used to idiotic posts so they didn't find my ramblings in any way strange. Here, you're often seeking to expose characters who say sillier things than I do, and who take themselves entirely seriously. That probably made my entrance confusing, so I thought I should come and qualify my actions.
I felt a bit cheeky starting a humour thread (Two Psychics Break Ranks…) outside the humour section, but I don’t see it as pure humour. To me, it has as serious a goal as any material on the forum, and in my experience, humour has a lot more impact where you wouldn’t expect to see it.
Anyway, I’d like to express thanks to those who’ve encouraged the thread, and to say that I’ve found lots of great content on the forum, which so many more people should see.
Unfortunately, that’s about my limit when it comes to sanity. So I plan to be back with Victoria in my capacity as a psychic either at or before the weekend.
Oh, and to answer Harryprice's question: Have I ever considered myself really psychic? For as long as I can remember I've considered myself as psychic as anyone who's ever made such a claim. Whether that's a yes or a no depends, of course, on whether I believe any psychic is really psychic. I hope you won't mind me leaving that conclusion for you to reach.
All the best, everyone.
I googled "Bob Leggitt" and there seem to be some real ones out there...
