Mr. Meers,
Since I've been one of your prime targets of character assassination over the past few months, I found your recent words of wisdom and consolation to people you consider your teammates in a righteous war to be quite illuminating. The following words of yours are on-the-nose, perfect descriptions of how you attempt to deal with my substantive remarks about the quality of abduction research.
You said:
"It's important to remember that when they go after your character then it means they are unable to disprove your work.....The only reason they attack your character is because they want you slip up and get mad and say something personal about them. They want you to get mad and make mistakes, it's that simple."
Exactly. Your precise strategy. You and others have denigrated my character and my independent research of the Cortile case, although over a dozen books and articles critical to the case have been written by others over the years. You have attacked my factual statements about some alien abduction research because
you cannot disprove my first-hand, eye-witness testimony. You make assertions, but they are so far off the mark that I don't even bother to answer. I just keep making video clips. Better to show than to tell.
One example is your bluster that the photo I included of Linda's building in the last video has the wrong windows marked.

Dear boy, take that up with Mr. Hopkins and Ms. Cortile. The photo with the mark on it was given to me for use in 1996 by Mr. Hopkins himself. I assumed then that he knew what he was doing. A trusting assumption that turned out not to be accurate.
It's very like the email accusation you made about the stills derived from scenes in the first video, calling me a liar--you said that the kitchen/round table scene with Linda, Budd and guest had really been shot in Linda's kitchen, not mine and Budd's. When I replied by stating the provenance of all the original art in the shots, including photographs of me and my small daughter, I suggested comically that if Linda's kitchen now contained all of the art that is in those shots, that it was time to call the police and get it reclaimed--well, then you wrote back that indeed, perhaps it
was my kitchen, not Linda's. <style>@font-face { font-family: "Times New Roman"; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }a:link, span.MsoHyperlink { color: blue; text-decoration: underline; }a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed { color: purple; text-decoration: underline; }table.MsoNormalTable { font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; }div.Section1 { page: Section1; }</style>

People here should be aware that that is the level at which you work, Mr. Meers.
You have continually goaded me at that level of triviality, so yearning for attention and confirmation! This is all I have to say to you and I'm done: My art and my vision of this curious band of zealous devotees is intended for a far broader audience than the insular world of ufology. I don't care to debate you or justify myself to you. My work will stand entirely on its own merits and it is being done with my integrity intact and a passionate desire to understand what makes people do what they do and believe what they believe, purely as articles of faith.
