Don't be such a baby, Oph. All here looked up and gave their
opinion of the article. Just because many debunked the story, no
one here "slammed" or even "challenged" you. They were talking
about the article not about you. In real life people do disagree
sometimes. Heaven help Janet UK if she had commented on it.
