What is a debunker? No-one has answered that very straightforward
question.

A "Debunker" is someone that removes the "bunk" short for bunkum, 
nonsense, humbug, etc. from statements made by mal-educated people that 
would rather believe unproved and non-scientific beliefs than take the 
trouble to do a bit of investigation for themselves. It is easier and 
often less painful to just believe in "bunk" than to investigate for proof 
of an item.  It is like the old saying "No brain no pain".

Wholeflaffers, a.k.a. Dr. Richard Frager, Dr. Dick, Sir Arthur, Isis of 
the Night, etc. is a prime example of "belief without proof" or "I don't 
have time to investigate so I will just take whatever on faith".

Great explanation of what a debunker is...Thanks Capt.!

Dr. Dick has been interred in The Salem Asylum for the Mentally 
Incompetent for a number of years.  This can be verified by contacting 
503-945-2800.

I just called there and they did, indeed, verify your information.
