You can be an awful person and still be right. If you're asking people to ignore someone's legitimately useful work because they're a bad person, stop.

I don't just have a problem with the man. I find his methodology questionable. Yelling "FAKE" and doing a bit of showmanship is not good science

In fact he had no science training at all being a high school dropout

Is that what he's doing? Back when I read his blog, he always talked about staff from his foundation establishing testing protocols. I suppose it's always possible he could say that and then not do it, but it seems unlikely.

You don't need formal training to follow the scientific method.

Well right now he's not doing anything. He's dead

James Randi was to skepticism what Charlie Kirk was to debates.
