Acharya S seems to have more of a following in the New Age/Conspiracy community. The idea that Robert Price might be so intimidated by a few rabid fans of Acharya S that he would change his opinion on a matter is laughable. |

Their fan bases do not overlap much. Besides, Price has 2 PhD's, speaks at national conventions, and does not have to self publish his own books or articles.

Did you notice that people who bought books by Robert M. Price apparently did not tend to buy books by Acharya S and vice versa? |

The group of people who buy books by an author is one thing. You are claiming that Acharya S has a significantly bigger fan base than Price, and that this fan base, while overlapping his, would take revenge on him for trashing Acharya S... I can't go on. This is just another conspiracy theory with no basis in reality.
