   So? Interpretations of "spiritual", whatever that may mean,   
   experience is subject to testing and verification just as are any   
   other assertions. Particular dialog is often described in terms of   
   attack and defense of a position. Lord Buddha tested the   
   confidence even of those closest to him. It was an important part   
   of training them. That is nothing to worry or complain about. The   
   only spiritual experience which matters  is one's own, and the   
   whole of the Buddhist canon is dedicated to obtaining such   
   experience for oneself first, others later. It was said that one   
   must get on the raft first to pull others from the river.
