I get the feeling that Jockndoris is just one of these guys that likes to pull peoples legs and does his coup counting by selling the pamphlets he calles books. Simply stirring the pot seems to be a second choice option since it at least keeps him from complete obscurity as a noaccount accountant. Assuming that claim is true. I mean really, communing with ghosts?
And there's the rub. Forget about arguing about if a civvie could get into a golf club or not. This specimen claims to speak to ghosts and can cure arthritis with gooseberry leaves. That puts him firmly in the "point at and laugh" club. He's either a badge-carrying member of the Woo-Woo brigade or a charlatan intent on milking as much money from the gullible as he can. The accountant version of
Derek Acorah, if you will
Some great posts and some not so great. Why is there so much anger around?!
I don't see any anger, though I freely acknowledge that a forum is a difficult place to display and interpret the emotions of the poster. You've got to remember that this place isn't the be-all and end-all of the contributors. Most of the heavy-weights in here are busy with their careers, and to be frank, answering most of the bunkum that the typical hoaxie puts up will probably take seconds. In contrast, your typical hoaxie will have spent hours absorbing all sorts of claptrap and will become emotionally invested in their belief-system. Mainly, IMHO, because the majority of them have bugger all else to do. These are the ones that tend to get angry quite quickly and normally resort to throwing their own body-waste about quite quickly.
You only have to look at the Awe130 thread to see how quickly
Adrian van Wereeld Awe130 descended into panic and spittle-flecked fury.
Anyhoo, you might have over-looked this one, but I wonder of you'd like to answer this question?
do believe it was faked myself.
Why?
