Dear,
I am writing to you as your c-mail address appears on Dr. Krauss's webpage.
I am a victim of childhood sexual abuse starting at the age of 13 and continuing until I left home at the age of 17. I assume that you have just read this last statement and are thinking, "Oh, great! More hate mail!" However, this is not the case.
I would like to say that I am unhappy about the planned walk out of Dr. Krauss's talk at TAM and the overall reaction of the skeptical community about Dr. Krauss's statement about Mr. Epstein, both of which I see as a symptom of a growing problem in the skeptic community.
I have jokingly suggested to my husband that I should go to Southpoint and hold up a sign showing my support for Dr. Krauss. My initial suggestion for the sign was 'Child Molestation Victims for Krauss'. I'm certain that would grab people's attention. I decided that 'Don't Grouse About Krauss' has a better ring.
Of course, nobody is interested in listening to the opinion of a poorly educated, lowly housewife with quite severe dyslexia like me, when they can be listening to Still, I thought, perhaps, I should provide Dr. Krauss with the opportunity to listen to my perspective if he would like. Because of my dyslexia, writing is difficult for me, (I have been working on this e-mail for over an hour) so oral communication would be better.
If Dr. Krauss would like to hear my perspective, he can contact me at ( I live in California, and I do not have a job, so he can feel free to contact me at his
convenience during daylight hours my time. (Although, I sit up nights reading rubbish being published by the skeptic community so after I lam would be most convenient.)
Thank you for taking the time to read this message. If this is the incorrect address for contacting Dr. Krauss, you not only have my thanks for reading this, but my apology for having wasted your time as well.
Sincerely,
