After reading Brigitte's posts, her statements do not come from an 
impartial scholar because of a mule-headed tendency to consider one 
side only. Her posts clearly indicate a tendency to fall for the 
trap, "he says, she says" by continually relying on other scholars, 
frequently not even crediting the original sources. And as someone 
posted earlier regarding Napoleon Hill, her ad hominem arguments 
cannot be trusted in the logistics of accurate thinking.

Normally, it is not wise to give unsolicited advice but when I see 
someone repeatedly ignoring good advice, I must say something. 
Brigitte, if several people complain about the manner in which you 
post, I would heed their advice rather than thinking that they don't 
know what they're talking about. It would be good to reconsider if 
one wants one's research to be taken seriously. Otherwise, one can 
end up spending a lot of time spewing out hot air, as a result, 
rendering one's research impotent. Unless expending a lot of hot air 
is one's goal...
