It appears that Christine 'trying my best to make a name for myself by using the Moors Murders' Hamlett (you know the one, she's the woman who keeps telling people she's 'Psychic') is a little miffed about appearing on BadPsychics.
It seems that she has attempted to 'fight back' against myself and Jon on her website. A battle of wits? Maybe so, but she appears to have turned up unarmed.....
Christine, a small word in your ear, if you plan on producing another 'get your own back', get someone else to write it.

Lets see how her 'retort' looks shall we? All sitting comfortably?

Notice it's all in upper case, as is the rest of the piece. It's a well known Law of Woo that if it's in upper case, it's true.

"JON DONNIS OWNER OF THE SITE BADPSYCHICS ....THERE IS PLENTY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS GUY ON THE NET ..."
Yes there is, mostly put up by people like yourself who have been exposed on BadPsychics, if not by 'Psychics' then the supporters of 'Psychics'. You really know you've hit a nerve when people develop websites dedicated to an individual trying to discredit the person rather than what they are doing.
You may not have heard of it Christine but its called 'argumentum ad hominem', look it up on Wikipedia. I'll tell you what, I'll save you the time:
"consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to a characteristic or belief of the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. The process of proving or disproving the claim is thereby subverted, and the argumentum ad hominem works to change the subject."
Ring any bells Christine?....

"CLAIMS THAT HE IS SIMPLY IN THE BUSINESS OF SLAGGING OF(sic) MEDIUMS FOR THE MONEY....AND THAT HE POCKETS THE MONEY DONATED TO HIS SITE TO USE FOR BEER"
Yep, we're all 'in it for the money'. I'm currently renovating my third yacht. It would be my fourth but the 23 illegal immigrants I have working for me are not pulling their weight. I shall beat them later with my diamond encrusted whip that I had custom made from the profits of exposing charlatans.
Are you open for a little advice Christine? You are? Good...
Stick with pretending to talk to the dead and don't go into investigative journalism. My point?...
Quote:
"HE POCKETS THE MONEY DONATED TO HIS SITE TO USE FOR BEER"
You see, the giveaway is the fact that it's called "The BP Beer Fund". It would come as no surprise to Watchdog or Donal MacIntyre that the money in a 'beer fund' is spent on....wait for it.....beer. Ta Daaaa!!

Oh please keep your Religious quotes to yourself, if you want to start playing the Religion game, how about :
Leviticus 19:31 'Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.
I was going to quote Leviticus 20:27 but personally I've never agreed with stoning, even for Mediums....

IT IS INTERESTING HOW YOU USE SARCASM TO DEFEND YOURSELF UNFORTUNATLY IT JUST EXPOSES FUTHER INSECURITIES YOU HAVE
I SUPPOSE THAT IS WHY YOU CREATED THE DELUSION OF MAGICAL POWERS MAKES YOU FEEL SPECIAL

I see nothing 'childish' about that, it appears very straight forward to me.

WHEN IN REALITY YOU ARE JUST A SAD LITTLE MAN..."
Sometimes people should not be let near a keyboard. It's hardly literary genius to change a couple of words in a paragraph is it? The main point being, that Donnis, myself, and others who think that charging money to pretend to talk to the dead is disgusting, have nothing to defend. Nothing. We are not making the ridiculous claims that have to be defended, the 'Psychics' are.
Quote:
"NOTE HOW NONE OF THIS HAS APPEARED ON THE BADPSYCJHICS(sic) WEBSITE ......."
Unfortunately I have not been able to log into 'Badpsycjhics' but you can rest assured it will now appear on BadPsychics. Obviously had we thought it worthy of more than a cursory glance, we would have put it on sooner, but we aim to please.

"JON DONNIS OR WHATEVER HE CALLS HIMSELF ALSO HAD THE NERVE TP(sic) PULL ME UP ON MY GRAMMAR ...."
'tp'? It's not just your grammar obviously...
Quote:
"YES I KNOW IT IS NOT GOOD BUT THAT'S ME ..."
But it's not 'just you' is it? This is the point we keep making time and time again. Why is it that 95% of 'Woo' websites contain such bloody awful spelling and grammar? Personally speaking, my spelling and grammar is appalling, I am the King of Typos, we all make mistakes, but I DO have a spell check (which sometimes fails admittedly) but if you produce a website to sell a service, don't you think you should at least get someone to proof read it first?
'Psychics' tend to disagree, preferring to come across as illiterate instead of professional. Please, and not just you Christine, if you are selling something, at least give your customers the courtesy of making it look like you used a bit of effort.
Quote:
"WHAT I DO OBJECT TO IS SOMEONE LIKE DONNIS PULLING ME UP ON MY GRAMMAR WHEN HE CANT EVEN SPELL IT....MISTAKES MADE BY DONNIS IN AN EMAIL TO ME TELLING ME HOW BAD MY GRAMMAR IS ....."
As I have stated above, everyone makes mistakes, in an email it doesn’t matter too much, but on a website that sells something? Would you really buy a car from a garage that advertises "Get yor carz from us, we is the bestest"?
Quote:
"I DONT USUALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SKEPTICS BUT THE SKEPTICS ON THE BADPSYCHICS SITE USE INSULTS AND CHILDISH BEHAVIOR(sic) TO GET THERE(sic) POINTS OVER"
No, not all of them, in fact we have some very articulate and polite sceptics (that's 'sceptics' Christine, we're not in America) on BadPsychics.
Personally speaking, I'm in the 'insulting and childish' section, I sometimes affiliate myself with the 'offensive and rude' group and occasionally the 'downright obnoxious', but I still think I get my point across without having to hug too many people.
Quote:
"THERE REALLY IS NOT(sic) NEED YOU DONT HAVE TO BE AGGRESIVE AND RUDE AND DOWNRIGHT NASTY TO GET A POINT OVER .."
I'm afraid Christine that some of us view how you earn a living with such disgust that 'being nice about it' went out the window a long time ago. Some of us wonder how people like you sleep at night.
Quote:
"THEY REFER TO PEOPLE LIKE ME AS TRICKING GULIBLE(sic) PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MONEY"
Yes we do. Not just the gullible, but also the grieving, the desperate, the vulnerable and the credulous.
Quote:
"I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT' PEOPLE COME TO ME BECAUSE THEY WANT TO I DONT(sic) NOT FORCE ANYONE.."
Whether you 'force' anyone is not the issue. Do you think anyone would come and see you if you said you CAN'T talk to the dead? No, of course they wouldn't. You prey on vulnerabilities.
Quote:
"AND FOR MANY YEARS NOW I HAVE TOLD MY CLIENTS THAT IF I OR THEY ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE READING THEN THEY DO NOT HAVE TO PAY"
And just how many people are too polite to actually complain?

I DID READINGS FOR YEARS FOR NO PAYMENT AT ALL..
It's a shame you didn't carry on with that method.
Quote:
"I DO CHARGE NOW BUT ONLY BECAUSE THIS IS MY JOB NOW."
It seems you've realised there is money to be made by peddling an unproven, non-tangible 'service' that any second rate stage magician could provide.
Quote:
"I PROVIDE A SERVICE SO I GET PAID FOR IT NOBODY EXPECTS A SERVICE FOR FREE .."
Just exactly what 'service' do you provide, pretending to talk to the dead? How is that a 'service'?.....
Quote:
"THE CHURCH CHARGES FOR A WEDDING.. THIS IS SUPPOSEDLY BEFORE GOD IS ANYONE TELLING THE CHURCH THEY HAVE TO PROVE GOD IS THERE IN THE CHURCH ?"
You pay for the Ceremony, after which you are legally married, you even get a certificate! They are providing a tangible service.
Quote:
"THEY CHARGE FOR FUNERALS CAN THEY GAURANTEE(sic) THAT THE DECEASED WILL GO TO HEAVEN?"
Exqueeze me? The money is not to make sure the deceased enters heaven, the money is to make sure the body is put in a grave/Urn and not left on the side of the road somewhere or stuffed behind a radiator. You pay for a tangible service, the burial/cremation.
Quote:
"I TRY TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITIY TO PROVE LIFE AFTER DEATH I REALLY THINK THAT SKEPTICS(sic) SHOULD PROVE LIFE AFTER DEATH DOES NOT EXIST.. .INSTEAD OF JUST SLAGGING PEOPLE OF(sic) .."
You 'Psychics' never let me down, I was wondering how long it was going to be before you came up with "prove there ISN'T life after death". It really is quite a pathetic argument that has been beaten around the head so many times it's starting to look like Michael Jackson. Can I say this once and once only? All together now...
You cannot prove something is NOT there. It defies logic and critical thinking.
Come on people, there are kids in Nursery school who can tell you the same. It's a pathetic argument made by Woomongers who fail time and time again to provide ANY evidence that what they are saying is real and still charge people money for it under the umbrella of 'you have to be open minded'.
Quote:
"BADPSYCHICS SHOULD GO ABOUT THINGS IN A MORE PROFFESIONAL(sic) AND SCIENTIFIC MANNER IF THEY WANT PEOPLE TO TAKE THEM MORE SEROIUSLY(sic).. AT THE MOMENT THEY ARE REVELING(sic) IN THE PUBLICITY THEY ARE GETTING SO WHO NOW WANTS THEIR FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME ?"
There is NOTHING scientific about exposing 'Psychics'. There would be, but every time one is asked to be scientifically tested, they always find a reason or an excuse not to be. Come on Christine, why don't you stand by your remarks? Let BadPsychics 'scientifically test you', if you're genuine, you have nothing to fear, and if you pass, we will champion you, promote you and personally speaking, I will devote my time and money to making sure your abilities are known throughout the World.
As for 15 minutes of fame, it's not something we seek. All we want is to expose people who prey on the vulnerable.

That’s odd, you denied all knowledge of it originally, now it appears you’re blaming your daughter?.... In fact if I remember correctly you even stated that "someone had hacked into the LivingTV site" to put the post there.....

Hang on... this is YOUR Spirit Guide right? If you can't get the information correct about your guide who allegedly helps you, what chance have you got of talking to anyone else who's dead?
Quote:
I HAVE HAD A FIRST NATIONS GUIDE FOR OUITE(sic) SOME TIME I CALLED HIM TWO TREES "
For quite some time? You mean you don't now? You realise that looks the same as "I had a First Nations Guide called Two Trees until BadPsychics pointed out I was talking rubbish so now I don't have him any more"?....

No you don't do you, you have no idea at all, but your arguments are so pathetically weak the only thing you can come up with is that?
Personally I would rather NOT work than live knowing my money has come from the gullible, vulnerable and credulous.
Quote:
"WHEN HE IS LIVING OF(sic) THE DONATIONS SENT BY USERS OF HIS WEBSITE... "
If Donnis is getting enough donations to 'live on' I want a pay rise, at least 8% AND I want the company car replacing, its a bloody heap.
Perhaps Christine, and please don't take this as me 'having a go', I really do mean it in a positive way. Perhaps if you laid off the whole Spirit/Medium thing for a while and maybe put that time into helping people in an Adult Literacy class? I think both sides could benefit more than 'talking to the dead'.
