Mack's tenure was subjected to examination, the goal of which examination was to deny said tenure, and after prolonged and in depth analysis, Mack won this case and retain his tenure.

There aren't many things in this life that I know much about but I do have a pretty fair idea of the culture,the "inner workings" of HMS.My knowledge of that world comes,in part,from having had more long,frank,talks with faculty members of the school than you've had hot meals.

Let me ask you, what is your problem here. Is it the subject matter in question or is it your linkage with Harvard?

My basic problem is the plausibility of "alien visitation" and "alien abduction".Call me a "Doubting Thomas" but I need more proof in this matter than the tales of a few..."unfortunately afflicted"...folks and the beliefs of one,or every,psychiatrist in the country.Including the entire staff of HMS's Dept of Psychiatry.

Who said anything about alien visitation?

And then you jump to insults about hot meals...that's an irrational leap. If you are a student of rationality (and psychiatry)...what is the basis for that?

You seem to have an inordinate fear of this issue (I can't blame you for that...it is an inordinately frightening issue)...

But you do not make concrete claims to oppose John Mack.

Have you read the accounts? And if you have, what is your opinion? Clinical opinion...not your personal opinion.

If you are not a psychiatrist, perhaps you can provide a link to one who has a differing opinion on the findings of Dr Mack.

Anecdotal accounts in the faculty dining room included.

Tell us about your findings.

We are not idiots here...tell us your personal findings and let us form our own opinions.
