A very reasonable point....however, it is not going to work. You see,
Inger is fundamentally incapable of admitting her errors. When she is
wrong, she uses one of her many routes of escape - blaming it on her
dyslexia, accusing others of stalking her, changing the subject, or
lying - claiming that she said or meant something different from what
she did. This is a psychological problem of hers, and nothing you say
can change that.

This is most easily demonstrated in areas where she has an absolute
minimum level of knowledge (not that it stops her from arguing with
experts in the field) - my favourite examples being when she was
blabbering some utter nonsense about computer viruses and another case
when she was making some absurd claims regarding geology.

It is kind of sad, actually - because if Inger ever actually hits upon
some remarkable new truths or a discovery, everying is going to ignore
her.

She has a certain entertainment value, however - I guess many people
donīt killfile her because they enjoy watching others make fools of
themselves....it is like watching a clown in a circus.

Unfortunately Inger does not realize that everyone is laughing at her.
 If sh only would behave like a real scholar for a change, people
might take her seriously - however, the number of cases where she has
shown a definite lack of professionalism in the past provavly mean
that will never happen. Her reputation as a crackpot is just too
well-established.
