Ah, that would be "Communion" by Whitley Strieber. I just pulled it off
the shelf and opened to page 24. Here is the passage I have marked on
that page:
The next thing I knew, the figure came rushing into the room. I recall
only blackness after that, for an unkown period of time. I don't
remember falling asleep or lying awake. What I do remember is far, far
more disturbing. My next conscious recollection is of being in motion. I
was naked, with my arms and legs extended, as if I had been frozen in
mid-leap. I was moving out of the room. There was no physical sensation
at all, not of being touched, not of being warm or cold. I could feel
myself as a shape and a mass, but not in terms of sensation. It was as
if I had become profoundly paralyzed. Although I wanted desperately to
move, I could not.

Because of my state of apparent paralysis, I am afraid that I cannot report that I was floating along on some magical pallet or a flying carpet. It could easily be that I was being carried. In any case, I was at this point in a state of panic. Something was hideosly wrong, so wrong that my mind went blank. I couldn't think. Even if I had been able to make a sound, which I doubt, I couldn't try.
I must have blacked out again, because I have further memories of being moved. The next thing I knew, I was sitting in a small sort of depression in the woods. It was quite dark, and frozen creeper was pressing tightly around me. I remember being starled that there was no snow on the gray earth.

Less so in comparison to a lot of the folks on this list than in comparison to the general public.

Which doesn't off-load any of your responsibility for clear communication onto KMO's shoulders.

I don't know what to say to that. There are a lot of good people there, but, like anywhere, there are a lot of people who are quite adept at justifying their selfish actions. I'm sorry that you have encountered so many of the latter variety.

Eeek. When you put it that emphatically, it makes it sound as though someone else has made claims to the contrary.

KMO is in Seattle.

The side of KMO's mind that you saw in logic class is still at work, but logic has strong representation on this list already.
