      Only that long? I first started becoming concerned maybe 6 or 7 years ago.

      I've been concerned for at least that long. I have spoken out about the state of skepticism and have said publicly that I don't like to identify as a skeptic because of all the BS that's going on; the problem is that there isn't a better term. 1/2

      To this end, @PrismPodcast has a show lined up at NECSS with me, Clay, @FinchLydia, @MrMMarsh, and @crackedscience to analyze the "State of Skepticism" and hopefully offer solutions to what plagues the movement. Something needs to happen. 2/2

      You make it sound like it’s on the schedule at NECSS! People will be disappointed to find out its a private recording. Should we charge $150 for tickets? :p

      It's the American Skeptic way! For an extra fee, you can come hang out with the Prism celebrities beyond the velvet rope where rank and file skeptics aren't allowed!

      Since I wasn't invited, I guess I'll pass. I've never paid extra to hang out with skeptic celebrities. 🙄

      You don't have to, nor do I. Because we're posh. But if the rank and file want to touch the hem of Randi's or the SGU's garments, they have to pony up. You don't see this behaviour at @QEDcon , BTW. (And I hope it stays that way) It is as different as night and day.

      Grant - that's a bit unfair. The SGU makes itself completely available to all attendees. We hang out, chat with guests, go to the events, and are completely approachable. Like all conferences, people can pay for extra events that take extra work.

      Have to agree with David here. As a rank-and-file skeptic and a NECSS attendee, I found the “celeb” skeptics to be standoffish. Not OVERLY so, but the SGU guys and other speakers spoke mostly to eachother and their families between events. Very little mingling with hoi-polloi.

      Granted, I am not a social butterfly, but no one (save perhaps Cara) made an effort to talk to anyone besides those that they wanted to talk to (aka speakers). Only those brave enough to approach a circled group of SGU & fam & speakers got rewarded with some friendly chit chat.

      I'll give you that. When the SGU crowd is hanging out, I admit that even I sometimes feel a little stressed about approaching to join the conversation. I can only imagine what it would be like for regular attendees.
