Leonard Bilsiter was one of those people who have failed to find this world attractive or interesting, and who have sought compensation in an "unseen world" of their own experience or imagination - or invention. Children do that sort of thing successfully, but children are content to convince themselves, and do not vulgarise their beliefs by trying to convince other people. Leonard Bilsiter's beliefs were for "the few," that is to say, anyone who would listen to him.

Γνῶθι σεαυτόν, as they used to say. Want to play at being a persecuted heroine and work through your Electra complex? Go nuts. But do it in private, and preferably without accusing your relatives of stuff that they could go to jail for.

Well, of course. But if someone fail to see the difference between their imagined world and reality, I'd be tempted to feel pity - Not hatred. Even if I am sorely sorry for all the people this woman hurt.
