Offensive, strongly disagree or disapprove

For the first time in nearly a decade and a half, I got a blog unsubcribe notice that selected "Offensive, strongly disagree or disapprove" as the reason. It's like some of those negative responses we get in student evaluations, isn't it?

Mind's Eye: Phantasia
8.5 minutes
Mental imagery—the mind's eye—is not experienced by everyone in the same way. For some, it's vivid and detailed and for others, it may not be there as a picture at all. It's a spectrum of abilities among humans, apparently. Phantasia is another name for this ability.
