Taking Back The Woo

Earlier today I came across a blog called Snarly Skepticism. The blog's name and subject matter caught my interest, and I started reading through some of the entries, which is how I found the post titled, Uber-skeptoid with way too much time on his hands gets libx warning and nearly peed myself while reading it. I assure you had it been much earlier in the day a mouthful of my morning coffee surely would have ended up all over the mothership (my desk) keyboard and monitor.

Go have a read via the link ..... but in a nutshell (the word nut being very apt here) a JREFF regular took it upon himself to rearrange books on the paranormal within his local library to sections that _he_ believed were most appropriate...of course without actually consulting library staff. When caught he was reprimanded, and for some peculiar reason, psuedo-skeptical logic perhaps, was upset at how _he_ was treated for mucking about with their shelves.

Anyway about a month ago I noticed something similar in our local library. I came across some UFO books in the Sci-Fi section, and then I noticed some true ghost story books written by our dear friend, and Order of Canada recipient John Robert Colombo in the mythology section. I pointed this out to Matthew, and we speculated that maybe a new employee was an evangelical Atheist and filing them this way. I even noted that we couldn't find even a single cryptozoological book anymore. Who knows where they were filed.... It was very weird, and now I've got to wonder what is actually going on.

Next time I'm in the library I'm going to check the numbers on the book and see if they match the library catalogue as to where these books should be located. And if not then I'd bet we have a JREFF fan in the neighbourhood who was inspired by this idiot.
