I presented the work of Karla Turner. She documented the evidence.

You presented the work of Karla Turner as an expert. She was shown not to be an expert.

She documented evidence of something. She asserted unequivocally that it was evidence of alien abduction. There is no evidence presented either by her or by you that makes the connection between the effects she documented and the cause she demands must be true. She admits there is no evidence her preferred cause even exists as an actual, real phenomenon.

You simply put on blinders to all of that. As with the plasma phenomenon, you demand that an investigation be done exactly your way and no other way, regardless of whether your way is the right way.

So far video cameras have recorded blank frames.

Leading to the unparsimonious claim that space aliens must be invisible. At no time is the space alien hypothesis relaxed. The Nargles (er, um, space aliens) are simply redefined to have whatever form fits the observation. Blatantly circular.

I have withstood a multitude of accusations, attacks on character, and phrases of parroting, pointed evaluation that I am incapable of rational thought, and general derision just for bringing up the subject.

You have withstood nothing more than a test of your claims, the kind that we and others endure every day. If you are unaccustomed to that level of rigor, then that is unfortunate. Evidence was given for each claim made. I have little personal sympathy for accusations of hurt feelings after having been told that I'm a government shill with my head in the sand, simply for having given reasons for my disagreement with your claims.

If you believe you have been attacked unfairly, stop complaining and notify a moderator. Put your money where your mouth is.

I just don't care what the opinion here is of me.

Then stop complaining about it. The "poor, poor me" role has been done to death in pseudoscience circles.

I presented a case study by someone who documented her work and refused to be a victim.

You presented the work of someone whose credentials you misrepresented and whose conclusions you blatantly lied about. You said she had the credentials to make her study credible -- not true. You said she didn't jump to any conclusions about space aliens -- not true. As to "refusing to be a victim," she played the victimized role for the whole rest of her life, and even got people to pay her to talk about it.

Evaluate it or not, that choice is yours.

The evaluation is given. You simply refuse to deal with it. The problem is that it wasn't the straw-man evaluation you expected. No one fell into your trap, and now you're all out of ideas.

My opinion is of little importance and I have nothing further to present.

On any other topic? Or will we see a fourth act to your "The government is covering this up!" play?

I rest my case.

What case?
