The Amazing Randi debunked sweaty "magnetic" people

The author has doubled down on that post. In his book The Miracle Month: 30 Days to a Revolution in Your Life he cites himself as an example of virtuous self-sacrifice for writing the meretricious attack on Randi days after his death. He uses it as a model for others to follow:

Today I want you to identify what you are willing to make a sacrifice for…

Reciprocity sometimes requires speaking out against injustice as I perceive it…

…The piece met with a good deal of support – as well as a chorus of vituperative and, in some cases, coordinated attacks, a Randian tactic that I expected.

Horowitz has managed to imagine that people coming to the same conclusion that his article was a self-interested vile smear of Randi must not only have been a “coordinated attack” attack but also one effectively led from the grave by Randi. That conclusion has as much basis in fact as his original article.

BBS rules do not allow me to express my full feelings of Horowitz holding up his screed as an exemplar of virtue, but I can say with immense understatement that they are not positive.

Scummy, but just what you’d expect from a charlatan who needs to tart up tired and trite self-help advice to make it seem edgy and new. Jordaddy seasoned his with hate-mongering, Horowitz does it with woo and smearing someone who contributes more societal value posthumously than he ever will alive.
