I don't think he's forgotten the password, he's just too busy spamming other forums.

Right Ernst?

It would now appear that Ernst, has forgot the password for Ernst. We will miss him so much. Unless he is regrouping under different avatars, bring it on Ernst I do miss making you look foolish, although you do a very good job yourself.

Ernst, Ernst please come back, I promise to be more gentle with you this time LOL.

Good News! That guy was probably responsible for hundreds of deaths.

Well Comtois33. Back wasting your time and ours again! How about you present evidence, or get your paymasters to present evidence. That's all! Attacking me as a sheep does not count as a useful contribution to the debate.

Suggest you call out Sidney Alford instead. Are you saying he is wrong? Are you saying that every single test carried out independently, and where all the radio aerial swivellers fail is wrong

Seriously now, put up or shut up.

However, if not, wherever you appear so will we

The link may explain our Romanian fraudsters absence and lack of comment:

Looks like the Iraqis have finally realised they have been scammed and want their money back. Apparently it WAS sold on bribery and bullshit. Comments please Romanian fraudster?????

I love James Randi, you've gotten old dude and I hope that someone of qualification is taking up your cause after everything is said and done. As far as this video goes I am in disbelief that someone who has been given such a high level position in the military can be so stupid to fall for a dousing rod for bombs yet someone such as myself who talks back to authority and analizes everything couldn't pass an officer candidate board for the Army even AFTER going to combat and paying my dues.
