Wait, never mind. Found it. Check post #153 of that thread: > [@KGS](#): > > _I think the disconnect here is that most people have a completely distorted idea of what “being psychic” really means. It ain’t a case of going “whooo whooo whooo I see Willie Nelson swimming the English Channel in 2008.” Psychic powers are very elusive, and rarely reliable. To make matters worse, charlatans like John Edwards and Miss Cleo perpetuate that kind of myth, and self-serving hucksters like James Randi also perpetuate it._ What do you say now, huh? ---

Point missed. You said that you never took the stance that psychic powers exist, which is pretty disingenuous from someone who has already claimed to have them, albeit in another thread. ---

(Oops, sorry bout the dbl post.) [QUOTE=Priceguy] Point missed.

But that statement is saying you DO believe they exist, certainly - that they are rare, and don’t always work, but that they do exist. It doesn’t prove the point you’re trying to make. ---

[QUOTE=KGS] Wait a minute, what point are you arguing here? [/quote] The point that you lied. Everybody sees it, so why not just admit it and attempt to explain yourself?

[QUOTE=KGS] Heh. “Asshole.” I am not the one showing sociopathic behavoir here. Not that I expect anyone else to admit to that.

Just in case anyone takes this “vote” seriously, here’s what we’re voting on: The person who posted [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=3545669&postcount=163) also attempted to pass himself off as someone who hadn’t [taken the stance that psychic powers exist but, at most, intimated that they might](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7364258&postcount=3). His attempt at defense is probably going to be along the lines of “that post only referred to that specific thread, and in that thread I never took that stance”. It’s up to all of you if you find him disingenuous despite that. ---

[QUOTE=KGS] Are you one of the deluded test subjects, or part of the conspiracy? Please, inform me. [/QUOTE] I’m just zis guy, y’know? 😉 You have the ability to post whatever you want on an internet message board (well, subject to moderation, of course.) The rest of us can hope that we see you at your best, but we have no way of knowing if that’s what you’re expecting from your own posts. 'Course, the Pit isn’t really the forum that brings out the best in any of us. (with the possible exception of [Sauron](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=152737))… on which note, this thread doesn’t seem to have taken a positive turn at all. ☹ ---

[QUOTE=KGS] You _assert_ that I lied. As for “everybody sees it”, let’s take a vote. Show of hands, everyone. In your opinion, did **KGS** lie? [/QUOTE] You claim you did not say psychic powers exists, then how can you have a “psychic reading” as you said in [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7362176&postcount=192) post? Your criticisms of the way psychics are tested throughout that thread certainly gave me the impression that you believed psychic powers exist. As an example I give you [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7355736&postcount=82) post. If you like I can trawl through the thread for some more examples. ---

[QUOTE=KGS] Look, I know I was set up by the wolf pack. Funny, that kind of behavior is inherently…well, psychic. How else do wolves communicate with each other, bait someone for the kill? That is the hypocrasy of it all. [/QUOTE] You know, I’ve been through this thread twice and I haven’t seen the rest of my pack yet. Just me. Maybe it was a failure to communicate. I tried to tell the rest of the pack that we should just get some cell phones, but noooooooo. We had to stick with the psychic powers. Now I’m on a message board and they’re probably off killing a deer or something. Ruins yet another weekend. :smack: ---

[QUOTE=KGS] Ah, so you were deliberately obfuscating. I should have know [/QUOTE] Not at all. I simply was not using “slander” as a legal term. I was using it as a conversational term.

[QUOTE=cards] You mean he was _serious._ I opened that thread when it first started and just assumed it was one of the MPSIMS games, with the funniest comment coming from **Hal Briston,** asking how “many fingers am I holding up”. I figured it would continue in that vien and went back to reading other forums. [/QUOTE] In his defense, he nailed my question spot-on. Yeah, I also stopped reading that thread, and until I saw this thread I figured the other one was all a joke too.
