Sweetness and light have not exactly been the predominant characteristics of posts on the Eagle Days thread so far, have they?

They (the posts) have been honest. And that is what she apparently does not like. As someone said in the last day or so, 'If you cannot take the heat, get out of the kitchen'.

You put a book out there, with the title and sub-title used, and old-hand researchers and authors, as well as the general public, will get a copy and assess the content. You put it out there, and you take the bouquets and brickbats equally. The fact she did not take kindly to some of the objective criticism speaks volumes...
