I'm not asking James Randi to "drop everything". All I asked him to do was to vett Dr. Clive Wynne. This can be done with a 30 second review of his website.
Randi's hiding behind this goofy Challenge thing because it allows him to avoid dealing with scientific inquiry into areas he's uncomfortable with.
This entire exercise has been useful in exposing just how anti-science JREF has become.
