That Jim Fetzer has repeatedly refused to even acknowledge the Special Pleading inherent to his introduction of select items from the Fritz notes
that may support his theory and his arbitrary rejection of items from that same source because they do not support his theory has been noted by
some of his closest friends with whom I am in contact--and they are concerned. That he becomes agitated when this most basic of critical thinking
faux pas is kindly pointed out to him is another cause of grave concern. And, yes, these were originally pointed out kindly on EF. That he refuses not
only to acknowledge the possibility that the images in Altgens 6 are too obscure to make such definitive conclusions, but that he also seeks to deprive
others of having their own opinion about the matter, is further cause for concern. That he refuses to allow other interpretations to even be considered,
irrespective of their merits, simply because they differ from his own opinion, is further cause for concern. And finally, that he fails to be capable of
detecting these aberrations in his own reasoning and behavior is also cause for concern.
Upon emailing his diagram: 50 Points of Identification and his accompanying explanation to a colleague (with NO COMMENT added by me), I received
this single word reply: "Yikes!"
Indeed.
