MODERATORS
Short memories and sorry attention spans.
The amount of effort Randi put into debunking and cleaning up Geller's mess made him a personal hero. He'd probably sigh and understand, but he should be rolling in his grave.
I didn't know Segal's byline from Adam's before today, but he made a list.
You're right, but it's so infuriating.
