This is a long-winded preamble to a post on my fight, during a taped radio interview that will be aired this weekend, with the bestselling author of alien abduction memoirs and science fiction novels, and Dreamtime radio host, Whitley Strieber. Both Strieber and I were surprised by the virulence of this verbal battle - he said that I had assaulted him in his very being, and that we were no longer friends - but actually it was quite predictable based on my analysis of his work and the alien abduction phenomenon in 2012. (Strieber writes on his view of our argument here.)
