Something weirded me out about that lady. TED itself is turning into a speculative pseudoscience I guess. What a shame...

By comments below green haired Susan's threatened authors, publishers, editors; published the wrong data; was threatened with a lawsuit for slander. And what do we have here? Book burning?

I'm interested in what she means by "information that we copy". What information? Where did it come from?

She say on her website, publish wrong data about product. Contradict by 11 other studies. Never tell company owned by Occuptatonal therapist she publish anything. cause great harm. Yes, you are right. She is wonderful person. Very honorable. My mistake. Trust this woman. Green hair very normal. Anger normal. I wrong, you right. beg humble forgiveness.

Yes, you are so right. Green, multi-colored hair on old woman is normal. My mistake. Stopping doctors books cause no like chapters and size paper, also normal. Published wrong data, not tell company president who is therapist and keep secret for years her report contradicted by 11 other studies normal normal normal. You should trust this woman. She is you friend. Vote for Bush. Mao great hero. Hitler misunderstood. Palin great intellect. I wrong, you are right. So sorry. Apologise. bow bow bow.

She was not forced to remove slander. Her ISP was threatened with legal action, and asked her to remove the page. No one was ever sued, let alone found guilty of slander. It was expedient at the time because of the potential costs, and has now been restored by her because the removal has the appearance of admitting guilt, as you accuse and allege. Doesn't make it so. Why do you have such a personal stake in her? Are you a psychic?

What the hell are you talking about? I looked at Blackmore's web site and found the small, restored page that relates to Rhawn Joseph's book "neurotheology" and the incident in question. You totally misrepresent what is stated there. I consider your disparaging remarks about having green hair, being called crazy by a "famous" doctor, etc ad hominem attacks. Because they are. You clearly have something against Blackmore as I see it. Anyone can call someone else crazy. Doesn't make it so.

Jonahansen. I received message. Mao and Hitler burned books. Blackmore website she writes how harassed author publisher, made attacks against to stop their book. Govenor Palin wanted ban books, fired librarian. Do you trust Palin? Mao? Hitler? People who burn books? On Blackmores website she tells she publish wrong data about a company failed to inform them. Serious ethical lapse. It make her happy to harm them. Not ad hominen attack. On her website! She dishonest not ethical Sick. No trust her

Gee, aren't you a rational, objective person whose comments address issues in the video and don't contain ad hominem attacks.
