Reply #46: In no way do I have a problem with "vetting" a story.

Trust me, I have great respect for skepticism and often find myself explaining to "the world" that its really just realism.

I have followed Mr Madsen through the various on-line journals for awhile now. He brings interesting facts and theories to the table, that I enjoy reading and contemplating. I don't imagine he has any difficulty getting his articles accepted in any of these journals and they are usually given a visible spot from my observations. I would think that his reputation provides him with coverage.

Do I buy into ALL of his theories? No. Like i said, I need to prove things to myself before accepting them as a reality, its just how I am.

My question to you, and it is not a rhetorical question is: What purpose could he have to deliberately lie? Thats where I find problems in what you are saying, not in your opinion of his accuracy or even value.
