The Baha'i Studies Listserv I would agree with both you and Hasan Elias. Of course this is particularly unfortunate, since he drags the Name of the Faith down in the mud with him. Unfortunately, there are always folks like this around. I pray the Faith becomes well-enough known so that "nutters" or charlatans will be identified for what they are.
In this case, I suppose if we get the opportunity and it is appropriate to do so (debating with UFO cultists OR detractors isn't appealing to me), we can point out that what he says comes out of his own head and not from the Faith.
