OrgoneConclusion said: MT wins, although she cheated. I was hounded out of the MRP Orb thread for failing to note:

B. The object had died 80 years ago.
C. The shiny round metallic orb in the center was a girls hair-covered head.
D. The stove pipe cylinder to the left was a human arm pointing at the photographer.
E. The girl's age.
F. Obviously she had drowned. (The blue tint gave it away. Could be an Andorian though...)
Notice that this is the exact same sort of nonsensical extrapolation that UFO nuts do when they capture a dozen pixels of blurred light.
I sense a ban coming on MRP for being so dang 'critical' (read: rational). My bad for wandering into the swamp at night without an escort.
You were "hounded out"(ie corrected) because you claimed it was lens flare when that clearly is not the case here. Do you insist on being disingenuous in order to paint your opponents as irrational?
Sorry to be an asshole here, but I'm just addressing you using your own tactics.

It's obviously not lens flare, but what is it actually? It looks like a little pile of rocks or something.

I'm not sure what it is. But from what I can see, it certain resembles a small girl seen from a distance, which is all anyone else was saying in that thread. I don't know a single person in that thread who said they were certain that it was in fact a ghost.
I've also heard Stairway to Heaven played backwards, and could distinctly make out the lyrics: "Here's to my sweet Satan." I don't think that means Led Zeppelin are Satanists or that it was deliberately put there, but I heard it nonetheless. Other people have heard the same clip and said it just sounded like gibberish. As Husserl said, "All perception is gamble."

My 'tactics' are to examine the facts of which there are precious few. I did jump-the-gun as THERE WAS A BLUE LENS FLARE to which I thought he was referring, as are many ghosts and orbs.
Later, I checked out the barely visible 12 * 12 pixel image under an electron microscope and still could discern no female body parts nor age nor cause of death nor hair color nor...

Then my point stands, and your attempt to play the victim here holds no merit.

I got an eye hernia looking at the speck on the original posting. As I only blew the blurred image up by a factor of about 16X and there was still no detail, do you believe the original thread was worthy of discussion as to whether or not it was a ghost?
How could ANYONE possibly add to the discussion without it being pure baseless speculation?

I think the poster was showing what his camera caught, and letting others draw their own conclusions. It clearly was not meant to be definite proof of anything. It's the same thing I would do if I caught a UFO on camera. But of course, you're dodging the main point here, which is that you were not paying attention to the part of the photograph he was referring to(and had clearly circled), and when your error was pointed out, rather than conceding a simple mistake, decided to play the victim and post this:

F. Obviously she had drowned. (The blue tint gave it away. Could be an Andorian though...)
Which is bullshit.
My problem here is not that you made a mistake(we all do), but that you never fess up to it, and insist on turning it around on others. THAT is the tactic I was referring to. If you had the decency to inquire rather than accuse, I might be a lot more forgiving when you make mistakes like this.

Hey man, it is mysticism and the paranormal. These are much more imagination-friendly subjects than philosophy and spirituality, maybe it's just not the right forum for you.

Not sure what you mean doood.... I don't know as I have a "right forum", I post where I please - usually when I have absolutely nothing to say....

I was talking to OrgoneConclusion... he doesn't seem to like it over at mysticism and the paranormal.
Sorry about that, looks like I accidentally replied to you, PhanTomCat.
