Strange how Ms Morton is so eager to debate Ms Walling publically, but is unwilling to discuss these issues with members on this forum where she has the benefit of taking her time in responding and even using Google.  Of course she is going to say that she does not respond to people with fake names, but the truth is that she does respond up until the point she has difficulty backing up her arguments with facts.  After that point she uses excuses like that for not engaging in discussion which is actually respectful for the most part.

Personally, I thought that a person like Dr. Marty should have been interviewed rather than Ms Walling.  She wasn't terrible, but her responses were too rehearsed for my own liking.  I would have liked to have seen some of the responses more detailed.  They could have been, but she is not a fish veterinarian, a virologist or histologist.  Some people do better at media interviews than others.  On the other hand, Marty knows the topics and can provide that level of detail as well as context.  Ms Morton is smart to try to debate Ms Walling because it is an easy target; however, try someone like Dr. Marty and Ms Morton would have a more difficult time trying to BS the audience.

I thought the RCI interviewer gave Ms Roscovich a pretty easy time.  The interviewer was well-informed?  About what?  It was actually kind of funny to listen to because it felt more like an infomercial than an interview.  I was waiting for the Ginsu Knives to be offered as a gift if a donation was made.  The questions were not challenging at all until the last few minutes of the interview where it was mentioned that another website with an almost similar name was challenging her film's theories.  Oh well, I am not that surprised or that heart broken.  When I watch the episode of Rock Bottom on the Simpsons it puts it all in perspective and I get a good laugh out of it.
