I called attention to her work because she was a victim with education. Not a kook or a psychotic. The phenomena cannot always be attributed to someone with issues. She became a researcher to understand her own experiences. She was forced to this because she could get no help from the science community.

Knew I could count on you. Could have written your response myself. If she became a researcher just to write a book, your response would have merit. She became a researcher to understand her own experiance, wrote a book to document what she found.

Facts are stubborn things. They just keep popping up no matter how much you try to ignore them. Even when they cannot be placed into your scientific approach, they still refuse to go away.
