You get the same kind of complaints (actually the same complaints exactly!...over and over) from the likes of Sheldrake AND Sylvia Brown.... and Uri Geller...and.... and

They are all knit-picky-esque "he wasn't nice to me" and "he lied about (usually something he never said)!!!!"

It, of course, is not up to Randi to prove others' extraordinary claims. When said claims are debunked.... attacking the debunker is a sure sign he is on to something!
