Mr. public,
Might I suggest you download his book, read it, follow up on the references and judge for yourself the quality of his argument.  You might also compare it with the recently-released National Academy of Sciences report on the polygraph.

Dear "The Public",

I don't really know "Who in the hell is George?".  I do not really care who the individual is in my case.  I do know that this is the only website where you can ask "Who in the hell is George?" and not get censored, deleted, hyphened-out, or kicked-out.  You might not agree with "George" and you might say many negative comments about "George", and "George" will not use any of his "powers" or "influence" to silence your opinion which might disagree with his.  Think about that.  Think about Mr. Franklin as he reported his views on the Constitution of the United States.   Censorship of any kind is the most direct afront to the Constitution of the United States.  The "Right to Disagree" and voicing of that right is the cornerstone of freedom.  The fear of "freedom of ideas" is what many dictators preached as they quelched any opposition to their ideas.

Regards.

The Public,

Reminds me of a conversation I had with some members of a religious sect that I spent time with. They were quite disappointed that, after looking at their "literature" and talking to them I formed an opinion about their tactics and approach that proved accurate later.  I suppose I should have attended whatever seminary they had or study and be baptized since they felt that without that I would be "ignorant."   Like theirs, your argument fails.

Marty,

Is this what passes for intellect nowadays?  What you're saying is that reading, training and actual experience with the polygraph would have no effect on your opinion about polygraph testing.  It's bad just because you feel and say it's bad, and that's that.

Oh yes, let's not forget to compare it to a religious sect.  Very good.  Joe McCarthy would be proud of you.

Public,

You ask:

I don't claim to be "an important person or something." But the challenges I've put to Dee Moody and other polygraphers regarding the misrepresentations they've made to the media are important.

Then why are you wasting your time posting ad hominem attacks?

Quote:


So how long have you been a polygrapher, poster known as 'the public'?

Quote:


You seemingly do.

Actually, this website is devoted to exposing and ending polygraph waste, fraud, and abuse. I make every effort to avoid making ad hominem attacks. Pointing out misrepresentations publicly made by an individual does not constitute an ad hominem attack on said individual.

Have you ever wondered why George Mashke posts his own picture on each of his postings? Do ya think the boy may have some rather severe psychological problems ? Hey-here's a new topic:

How many of you think George Maschke looks like a Gerbal wearing glasses?
