Tampa Bay Skeptics Executive Council "Position Statement" on Renier
Renier's local free weekly newspaper's November 2006
cover story about her book, its first follow-up article,
and its April 2007 article about
Renier's court loss to Merrell over the book
View the attack upon me by a character
named Peter Duffie -- This venomous and irrational attack was originally posted in the spring of 1998 on
Duffie's "Psyzone" web pages, which are no longer posted but which can still be seen
here
(archived, with some funky punctuation characters and missing the graphics). When Duffie's site was abandoned in late 2000
or early 2001, these pages were moved to Renier's site, first
here
(on her old atlantic.net site -- again, these are old/archived pages absent the graphics), and later
here
on her newer noreenrenier.com site (from which these pages were removed in June 2006, I suspect at the
recommendation of her attorney, though as you can see they are still available, archived and sans graphics).
In addition, the unformatted text of all five parts (among other material) is accessible on
this web page. Before deciding to host Duffie's attack, Renier had insisted to me that "Mr. Duffie is not an associate of mine,
nor do I have an association with his site," although that obviously changed somewhere along the way.

(not that I am suggesting Renier was in any way involved . . . )

This new "Global Net Research" website appeared in March 2015, two months after John Merrell took down
his anti-Renier site. It is run by what it calls "a fresh management team including global researchers and investigators . . . including
those in our homelands outside the United States." Though his work is extensively quoted, Merrell tells me that he is a "distant reader, not a participant"
in this site.
