An email I received at my Stop Sylvia web site, with the subject "why?"
Note to any mushy-types out there: I posted this in GS&P because:
A. It relates to Sylvia Browne and
B. Demonstrates one of her fans' paranormal-influenced thinking.
Here we go again.

this is exactly why the human race is in the state it is in due to the negativity of others on people who only desire is to help others. true there are some frauds but i have seen enough evidence in this matter if you want to pick on the greedy go to the churches.
no wonder why your ill my friend it is because of the negativity you are creating against a person who wants to help others you are just getting back what you are giving out.
love and healing to you and find god in your heart mate

My reply:

Thank you for your email.
First, I believe that the evidence pretty clearly shows that there are far more reasons to doubt Browne's claim to have psychic powers than there are to believe it.
Second, I seriously doubt that she is simply trying to "help people". If she is indeed a fraud (as all of the evidence seems to indicate), then she is merely a greedy charlatan who PRETENDS to want to help people, while instead taking their money and lying to them at very emotionally vulnerable points in their lives (missing children, death of a loved one, etc.
Third, as to your theory that my poor health is a result of my "negativity", there are several things wrong with this theory:
1. There is, to my knowledge, no compelling evidence indicating that "negativity" leads to poor health.
2. What I am doing is not negative. I am merely putting the FACTS about Browne out where they can be examined by interested parties. This can prevent people from giving their hard-earned money to a fraudster, and is, as far as I am (and many others are) concerned, a public service, and an extremely POSITIVE thing.
4. If poor health is caused by "negativity", how do you explain Browne's equally poor health (she, too, has been in a wheelchair for several years now, and suffered a heart attack in 2011). If she is such a wonderful person, merely trying to help people, why is she as bad off, health-wise, as I am?
You are correct that my poor health is largely my fault, though not because I have exposed Browne for the fraud she is. No, my poor health was caused by several decades of an atrocious diet and little to no physical activity. as Browne's was not caused by her "negativity" (preying on people at vulnerable points in their lives), but by decades of chain smoking and (from her build, I assume) poor diet.
And, while there are other people and institutions (such as some churches) deserving of "Stop sites", this does not make the Stop Sylvia site superfluous.
I picked her as the focus of the site because I know more about her and her con than I do of others, and because I found what she does to be so morally repugnant that I was motivated to create the site. I felt that this knowledge and motivation made me a good person to crfeate this site. I hope that other people, equally knowledgeable and motivated, will create similar sites on those other topics.
Thanks again for writing,
