As you know, Richard--because you quoted Barry's post saying
so--according to Barry, he saw Lenz levitate in many different
situations, not just lecture halls or places where he might have had
help staging an illusion. It's fine to make Barry look foolish by
questioning what it was that Barry saw or imagined he saw, but when
you quote him and then lie about what he said, it makes you look like
a worse fool than he is.

If I was directly quoting Barry, I would have used quotation marks. Here
is the full quote:
"I will also admit, for the same reasons, that there might have been
some kind of psychic siddhi going on, in which people's perceptions were
altered to allow them to see a phenomenon that might not have been
present on a physical level. But there was never any suggestion of what
was about to happen. The most he'd ever say was, "Watch." He never said
*what* to watch for, and levitation was only one of the siddhis he was
good at, so there was no telling what, if anything, was going to
happen. And yet most of us saw stuff, and everyone who saw it agreed on
what was seen." - TurquoiseB
