[On the internet persecution of psychics like himself:]

I remember the irony of it on DailyKos; these were liberals committed to calling out Republicans on their nonsensical talking points and demanding facts, all the while spewing skeptic talking points and avoiding the facts. It was as if the mention of psi flipped a switch inside of them and all their brains fell out.

I've come to understand that it is time to redefine what we're dealing with:

Bigotry.

I know that skeptics don't see themselves that way and I understand their reluctance to take on that label, particularly when they see themselves as defending rationality and protecting the public from scams, but is what they're doing really any different from scores of other conservative people who have calmly expressed why other groups needed to be marginalized? I don't think so.

When skeptics claim that psychic ability doesn't exist, what does that say about us? That we're either frauds or feebleminded? An attack on psychic ability is actually a very personal attack on us.

And as a result, many of us have had to hide our ability and have not been free to be who we are. We live in a society that only allows us to operate on the margins and dismisses our abilities as mere "magical thinking." I am tired of it.

What all of this means is that we are just like every other minority group. Nothing is going to change until we make it happen. We are not fighting the slowness of the advance of science, we are fighting bigotry.
