My opinion on Sylvia Browne is on record. She's icky. My opinion on Robert Lancaster is also on record. He's a hero. He takes on people who claim to be psychics, showing their claims fairly and pointing out politely but firmly where they are wrong. He is a role model for skepticism. A little while back Robert had a stroke. While he was ill, his ownership of the domain name stopsylvianbrowne.com expired. It was immediately snatched up by someone whose tastes, well, didn't align with Robert's. However, Robert is doing much better now, and he and his wife have worked on this, and now SSB is reborn as, simply, Stop Sylvia. So if you want know about Sylvia Browne, then this is the site for you. If you want to learn more, the JREF forum has the whole story. If you have a blog or website, please change all your links to the new site too, please. You can find out more about that at Skeptools. Speaking of Cectic earlier today, and on-topic for this post, I have to think the artist may be on to something here...
