Militancy? What? For not taking your story at face value? Your story implicitly asked the reader to believe your take on events, including your faith that the former Latin student didn't know Latin. What exactly is militant about enquiring a bit further?

There is a story posted since this about a little girl who claimed to see a woman in black. That story doesn't make any claims about ghosts and it credits us with being able to see it as either a ghost story or a story about childrens ability to be quite freaky at times, so it works. You have pretty much called me Richard Dawkins for not going "wow" about a story involving a drunk Latin student and a Latin phrase coming up in a ouija board.

What do you want, a medal?
Yes it was probably him, no ghosts probably don't exist.

Well done Sherlock bleedin Holmes.

Really - lighten up - IT WAS JUST A BIT OF FUN, but well done, you've successfully smashed it to the ground.

meh, you know what?
I normally like your stories vag, but this one just didn't really work. It was not unreasonable for others to ask for clarification, but you've just spat the dummy.

Disappointing.
