7.) It will also be made known, in the PR, that my live UFO summons, over the Internet, be pay-per-view for the world at large.

At this point I'd like to drop right out of my "middle-man" role here if at all possible. This is turning into something that should really get hashed out privately with attorneys and PR firms and whatnot..... *sigh*

All I can say is that Prophet seems VERY confident that he can pass the "ATS Test".
I think ATS has no choice now but to test him out!! Or risk losing face....

Can we please just allow him to post in the thread. It's going to take forever to resolve anything this way, going through me and Youtube emails....

This guy stinks of corruption...." I'll do it, but only this way".... CRAP!

Well, obviously he has already gotten advice from his lawyer about this.
Which is a pretty smart thing for him to do, actually. I don't blame him.

Ouch. Well, I don't mean to step on anyone's religion, ever, but the Prophet needs to understand that he is the one under investigation here.
Contacting world media agencies, and broadcasting this whole ordeal for the world to see can only help PY, furthering his name and "status." When I read this, all I see is someone trying to make a quick buck off of some unsuspecting internet saps. Even if an investigation is done and ATS proves PY a fraud, he will still have walked away with his goal acomplished -- his name known, intrest in him sparked anew, and money in his pocket.
In all honesty, I didn't really expect anything less, though.
Much respect to Springer for his responses and willingness to set a challenge, but my vote is to let this die.
Short term pain, for long term gain

I think Ramon's response shows that this won't happen.
He wants a pay per view event? The only thing I can see coming from this is that we will learn the details of his shenanigans and we will be asked to sign documents stating that we will never discuss the manner in which the ufos are produced.
It sounds to me like he's looking to use our name and reputation in the field to give his own claims some credence. I can't see how we'd win here and no, ripping off people willing to pay for the show is not a win in my eyes.

"Smart thing"??????
What the heck does a lawyer have to do with this? Other than the obvious....."I want my money".....
After that last goofy email you showed us, you're still going to offer some kind of support for this charlatan? Shame on you.

1.) As a general rule, I don’t like summoning for some one’s production who blasphemes my religion and the Creator I serve, and who slanders, libels, and defames my character, on a consistent basis, to members of his group.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
2.) As a general rule, I don’t like summoning for some one who is not really qualified to produce a production and is really an amateur.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
3.) Because of this, my summons will be done in my own production that I am willing to “consider” a joint venture with ATS.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
4.) The details of this is open to negotiations that will not be considered legally binding until drafted in contract form, by our attorney’s and signed by both me and ATS.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
5. Once we have complete our negotiations on the course of action, and have signed a legal contract, I will send put out a press release, to the world’s media, announcing my acceptance of ATS’ challenge for me to prove my ability to summon UFOs.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
6.) In the PR, it will be made known to the world that my UFO summons attempt be simulcast live to the world via the Internet and, if possible, a mainstream network television news channel.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
7.) It will also be made known, in the PR, that my live UFO summons, over the Internet, be pay-per-view for the world at large.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
8.) The amount of money ATS receives to cover its expenses, and for participating in a joint venture with me, will be decided upon in our negotiations.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
9.) Rights of ownership of the final production, UFO event security, production decisions, distribution rights, and all other issues, will also be decided upon in our negotiations.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
10.) Now, that all this has been made known, the question is if Mr. Springer will re-consider his demands are non-negotiable and enters into direct negotiations with me, and our attorney’s, publicly on the ATS forum site.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
11.) If Springer is willing to drop his demands and enter into negotiations, then let the terms for how the negotiations be conducted be decided in the current thread about ATS challenge.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
12.) After the terms have been agreed upon, then let Springer create a thread on his ATS forum that no one can post to but him, me, and our attorney’s.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
13.) This way, the public can see every word we are considering for a “possible joint venture” between me and ATS.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
14.) If Springer changes his mind and is willing to enter into discussion on how our negotiations will be conducted, let him create a private thread that no one can post to but him and me.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
15.) If the private thread is started, then Springer is to send me an email with the link to it so that I can start posting my concerns there for him to read and all ATS to monitor.
Originally suggested by Ramon(Prophet)
16.) If he decides not to change his mind, and refuses to enter into negotiations about a joint venture with me, then I have no choice but to leave the door open, based on the words of this email, until he decides to change his mind, if ever.
