Tonto, I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding on Pug's part. It seems to me after reading your post that Riley never said he was a Star Gate member...he just left it up to the reader to decide one way or another. It looks like he wanted to keep everyone guessing! JMHO You always seem to conduct yourself in an appropriate manner. Maybe others on this thread will learn from your example. Mike

tonto It seems that Pugs may be upset that you revealed that Riley was not a member of the organization Star Gate, as Riley may have wanted to imply that he is a member. According to this short blurb from an internet site, Riley likes to reveal information about others but does not like to see the tables turned: >>>>>Riley G. Mat(t)hews: Collated from various people: >Oh, who was that ex-NYC cop over in sci.skeptic a few months ago who was >offering to use his psychic powers to fix the Mars orbiter and the Hubble >telescope? ... Riley, alias Riley G., alias The Thin Blue Line, alias Riley G. Mathews. Proper skeptics (or, as Riley liked to call them, septics) never were convinced he actually was an ex-NYC cop. ... can't remember whether or not he posted from DELPHI. -- Ah, yes, "Riley G". Although one of my personal favorites, especially after Bob Ingria over on sci.skeptic challenged him to give Bob's personal information and Riley got it all wrong, Riley is rather new, doesn't cross-post into places like rec.gardens, and disappeared during ("my good friend") Uri Geller's recent tour, so is mostly unknown. -- Ahh yes! Riley. Most of the sci.skeptic people ended up calling him Rile E Coyote, I think. He sounded like he must have gotten his brain from Acme, that's for sure. He used to post letters ostensibly from The Amazing Randi and then flame, flame, flame away about them (the letters certainly sounded like Randi might have written most of them -- they certainly took Riley apart. make (badly written!) retorts to them in public is a bit confusing to me...). -- >Riley's touchiness about Randi knowing where he lives, and presumably his >real name, motorcycle licence number, etc seem quite at odds with the very >casual way in which he posted the names and phone numbers of people here, >along with those of innocent bystanders he claimed to be neighbours of his >targets. They're not really at odds. If Riley is really as paranoid as he sometimes seems to be (viz his claims to have ''phone traps'' on his phone to list the originating phone numbers of all incoming calls, to have ''motion trackers'' and video cameras around his house, etc.), his knowledge of where his opponents live and what their phone numbers are, etc., gives him a potential edge on them---an edge which he loses if they know the corresponding information about him. Also, Riley posts purported information about people both to show off (and, in the first few times he did this, to imply he got the information psychically), and to serve as an implied threat (see his comments to me that he could pay me an unexpected visit because he knew my phone number). It's the bully syndrome: he gets to do other people, but no way do they get to do him . And realizing that they can do him must drive him even crazier than he already is. --
