AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around skepticism towards a particular psychic, with users expressing discomfort about her claims. A notable mention is the long-standing dispute between the psychic and James Randi, a well-known skeptic. One recommended resource for debunking claims is the website randi.org.

Suggestions include checking the psychic's own books and tapes for information, as well as searching for older content online.
