A lot of diskeptic behaviour is unfair, exhausting, disrespectful, dishonest, disproving, untrustworthy, and unbalanced. Diskeptic actions can be frustrating and their illogical mental mind games, which they like to play, are designed to make you look stupid and discredit you at all costs. Which, by the way, tends to entertain them and others with their holier than thou attitude!!
Diskeptics play dirty and they are out to WIN in any which way possible! No wonder there’s that silly Randi *prize* which the majority of psychics couldn’t care less about. Pretty crafty!! In fact, I would say diskeptics are great designers of tests meant to fail.
Diskeptics have little interest in the never-ending seeking of truth; they are hell-bent on disproving that paranormal and/or psychic activities are genuine. It’s one thing to have skeptical open minded doubt, it’s another to be on a mission of close mindedness!
Also a diskeptics interest in laughing at people (they don’t agree with or believe in) and wanting them to look like idiots while attempting to discredit is uncouth and in effect, I believe, actually makes them look ridiculous.
And what’s with diskeptics saying it’s horrible that professional psychics are deceiving the general public with baseless readings but somehow their magician’s tricks and deception are okay because it’s for the betterment of mankind? That’s senseless, biased, and puts diskeptics on a pedestal.
Professional psychics, like myself, believe in what we do and that it is one of many ways to help a person have a better personal life, career, or business. So what makes diskeptics so special?
In future, when I engage with these people I will know what they are after and behave accordingly. In fact, I will be downright skeptical (in the way skeptical really means)!!
Now having said all this, I love shows like Penn & Teller’s Bullshit and James Randi’s quest. They are entertaining, make me think or re-evaluate my beliefs, poke fun at what I do (why be so serious about life?!), and they do help people keep safe from genuine scam artists. I WANT diskeptics to exist (without the *dis* if that were even possible) but since scientific skeptics pretty much play dirty I have little interest in engaging one-on-one with those prickly humans.
