For some reason I have a hard time being mad at little girls with chocolate all over their face. Maybe I'm too forgiving, but looking at that string of posts, I'd say Erica has the least amount of icing on her fingers. It's an all out food fight ... lol. I think it's funny and so far as I'm concerned Koi just couldn't take it and ran home to momma .
Have you actually read any of the background story ?. Because if you have and thats what you take from this, I have to question your comprehension skills.
This attack on Isaac Koi is Erica Lukes' revenge enacted by Ted Roe, fallout in part from the Roswell Slides fiasco. Lukes was a guest host for MUFON's show on KGRA where she interviewed Jaime Maussan between BeWitness and his MUFON symposium appearance, allowing him to defend the Slides against the critics he said were trying to discredit him. Her primary concern was trying to get the meanies to stop saying unfavorable things about her friends. Lukes has referred to Maussan and Paola Harris as role models that have guided and supported her. She sees anyone criticizing the fakes that these two promote as hateful debunking abusive meanies. She apparently saw the team that exposed BeWitness in that light. Isaac Koi, Chris Rutkowski and I were among the members of the "Roswell Slides Research Group," and it's tragically comic that Lukes rushed in to defend yet another fake photo of a dead alien, this starting this disgusting episode.
When Isaac posted a notice about Ted Roe's new IAUAPR group, I asked that since Erica was a member would her mentors Maussan & Paola Harris be a part of it. I'm sure that infuriated her, and her boss Ted Roe came to her defense and started a feud with Isaac. It trailed off when Isaac refused to respond to Roe's insults.
Erica Lukes found an opportunity to strike back. At the discussion at ET Disclosure International, the topic of Isaac's anonymity came up. Erica seized on this and then Ted Roe took over for her. She'd like to punish me, Gilles Fernandez and the other "meanies," but found Isaac Koi an easier target. As a result of Roe's threats, Isaac is being forced to withdraw from ufology in order to protect his career and family. Isaac's done an invaluable service to the study of UFOs by working to preserve its history. This a huge loss to UFO scholarship.
Ted Roe is just a henchman. This is clearly the work of Erica Lukes.

So lets flesh out the detail.
Someone mentions this photo
Koi Alien Photo 01 - IsaacKoi
And uses the Argument From authority to insist its real.
Chris Bledsoe :As I said I didn't write the book a very smart and qualified scientist with more credentials than most anyone you have ever met authored this book and claims it's real! You should ask him if you and your group want to debunk him! I for one believe him because I have known him for almost 10 years he comes from NASA and the US Naval Observatory if you think you can discredit him have at it!
This is a logical fallacy.
An appeal to authority is an argument from the fact that a person judged to be an authority affirms a proposition to the claim that the proposition is true.
Appeals to authority are always deductively fallacious; even a legitimate authority speaking on his area of expertise may affirm a falsehood, so no testimony of any authority is guaranteed to be true.

Chris Bledsoe: You should call Dr Povenmire and ask him I think his credentials speak for themselves. He started observations of the sky and moon before you were born and is still active. He heads the press core at NASA!
Erica jumps in and using the same argument from authority defends Chris, and by extension Povenmire and his claim the photo is of a genuine alien.
Erica :I understand your point but Chris has read his book Chris has had a personal friendship with him so he might know more than the rest of us.
Personality's and loyalty's take precedence over the actual facts of the matter as they relate to the photo. At no stage was any counter argument given to why the photo is indeed genuine, no argument as to why Isaacs facts as published are wrong. No as usual don't let the facts get in the way of a good hoax.
And these very same people have the Chutzpah to set themselves up as experts and want to charge ppl 75 bucks a pop for their stamp of approval, as if the approval of people who use logical fallacy's like the argument from authority instead of the facts is worth anything.
When you look at their modus operandi in the case of this photo, and the slides.........
No wonder they had it in for Isaac. All he did was put out good solid facts and evidence and let you make your own mind up.
These guys have a "We are the experts, don't question our conclusions, we don't need no stinkin facts, our guy works for NASA so it must be true" attitude.
Self proclaimed experts who ignore the clear evidence its an April fools joke. Ufology needs people like Isaac, not them.
