I take my 7 year old daughter seriously, as I did when she was 3. I take everyone seriously (including Bek, ILTB and Diane) because everyone deserves to be taken seriously, and their words should always be evaluated as objectively as possible, interpreted in the context in which they were written or said. It doesn't matter who says them. I'm sure Albert Einstein uttered complete nonsense from time to time, and the unabomber actually made some sense here and there.
Words should be evaluated, credited or debunked, not people.
Now you're playing with semantics. When I mentioned that I was surprised that anyone could take Forester seriously, I obviously meant his ideas, not Forester the man. I don't know the man, and I bear him no ill will; I just think his site, which is the only exposure I've had to him, is simply laughable, that's all.
