As for the idiotic comment about not being interviewed by David Burd, well:
wtop.com... The interview was presented in four 1 1/2 minute segments. The interview, in case you haven't figured it out, was of me, hence the link to MY site.

It's okay to put up derogatory posters, maul and vilify Meier, impugn my motives, i.e. lower them to the same kind of financial materialism that has infected the majority of bottom feeders of this world but, hey, I better not call anyone an idiot. Is that your standard of fairness here? No problem, I recognize cowards when I meet them...nice meeting you all. And really, what would one expect from armchair heroes and wannabes?
Originally posted by 8Michael12Okay, on with it. Let's simply (and perhaps for the umpteenth time) offer some of the facts of the case. You get to decide for yourselves what you think, if you are capable of it.
According to the "logic" being thrust at us by Ritzmann, any and all equipment used by experts (and the experts themselves) in the fields of photographic, sound and metal analysis, with which countless tests have been made leading to scientifically valid determinations, previously accepted as credible, must be dismissed - if Meier's evidence was ever included among the testing and, heaven forbid, validated by it. Conversely, all is well with the equipment and the experts if Meier's evidence DIDN'T pass the tests.
This means that we should dismiss the following ("antiquated") equipment simply because it was known to have been used to analyze and validate Meier's evidence:
Electron Microscope
Micro Densitometer
Vidicon Tube
Interferometer
Infraredometer
Digitizer
Image Process Computer
Zeiss Microscope
YOOL Laser System
Simmons Gamma/Alpha Emission Tube
Grinnel Computer Graphics Terminal GMR-37
Tektronix Computer System 4081=peripherals
Fairchild CCD-2 Digital Camera
Singer zx-2 Digital Camera
CMX-700 & 340 Computer Video Graphics
Scanning Electron Microscope
Laserscope
HELL Chromograph DC 300
And we should likewise dismiss these companies, their ("antiquated") equipment and personnel as no longer credible:
Hamamatsu Systems
COMTAL
De Anza Systems
Ramteck Systems
ComTol Systems
Evans-Sutherians
Spatial Data
FORTH Systems
JPL
NASA
IBM
USGS
INTERREPRO, A. G.,
SCHORI REPROS
Spectro Dynamics
Eidgenossisch Maerialprufungs und Versuchsanstalt
Boeing
McDonnell Douglas
Swiss Military Air Safety Monitoring Unit
Uncharted Territory
Design Technology
Kodak
De Anza Systems
Excalibur Sound Studios
Naval Undersea Sound Lab
Photo Color Studio
Nippon TV

Originally posted by 8Michael12Because we are not threatened in our knowledge of the truth we have no problem acknowledging Ritzmann's photos for what they are, very good, even excellent photos of a model UFO. Unfortunately, Ritzmann is not quite so honest and obviously feels very threatened by the work of a one-armed man who's been presenting physical evidence (yes, still irreproducible until tests prove otherwise) for 42 years, and prophetically accurate information for 55 years.
Originally posted by 8Michael12Of course, we are also told by the emperor-skeptic-in-chief that Harryhausen's model is actually a better, more convincing one than the real deal shown in Meier's photos! I think that this puts me in the position of informing some dwellers of deep denial that their emperor has no clothes, and poor eyesight as well. But if you can be talked into believing that the Harryhausen model even comes close to the UFOs Meier photographed...well then, I guess you can stay comfortable in those "beliefs", highly valued as they are also by Ritzmann, certainly above the expert opinions of qualified scientists.
Originally posted by 8Michael12I should mention that, contrary to what you assume here, I'm not interested in a popularity contest and I don't mind going head to head with people who are illogical, can't back up their stupid claims, etc., and that includes people in the so-called UFO community who champion garbage peddlers as truth tellers and then won't substantiate their "evidence".
Originally posted by 8Michael12The difference between me and, as far as I can tell, every one of you, is that I've been involved in researching this case for 27 years now. I work on every aspect of it because I recognize it as the most important story in all of human history. None of you have troubled yourselves to take what Wendelle Stevens calls the "first elementary step" in a credible examination of the case, which isn't hard to do since the people involved are still around and the contacts are still going on. But you're too lazy, have far too many excuses and think that your concocted "challenges" are brilliant and unique. Hardly, look at the other forums where other wannabes were offering the same stupid nonsense. And the funny thing is that I haven't seen any of you on the lecture circuit presenting your expose of this great Meier "hoax". Gee, I wonder why? If this is such a financially lucrative field, heck, why don't y'all take a shot at it? I mean, come on down!
Originally posted by 8Michael12Why haven't you showed up? Simply because you're hypocrites and poseurs, comfortable sniping away from your computers instead of getin' all gritty out there.
Originally posted by 8Michael12Now an admission from me. I get involved on these types of forums when things are otherwise on low demand, and the reason is to see if there are really any credible challenges to the case. It may surprise you to know that I even challenge Meir from year to year when I see him. As you can see, I've been on a number of these wildlife refuges and, so far, nothing of real importance has occurred, present company included. The "best" things are the photos from Fortean, IIG and Ritzmann simply because they are all good model shots...that still won't pass the tests Meier's did...and none of you geniuses will submit them for the testing, Ritzmann being the most blatant and obvious in his cowardice to do so (yes, even though we all know the results in advance).
Originally posted by 8Michael12As I said, this is a workshop, a testing ground for arguments against the case but the best that the bottom feeders can do is to try to attack the integrity and motives of the contactee and spokesperson and if - YOU - moderator, or anyone else doesn't like the accuracy of the language and my pointing out that morons who hurl unsubstantiated, ignorant charges are guilty of the very thing you'd like to criticize me for, then ban me from your pathetic little club, microcosm of the small-minded world that we live in that it is.
Originally posted by 8Michael12I wonder if any of you quick to attack types stand for ANYTHING, ANYTHING in your own lives, really, and if you'd be willing to take the heat from equally retarded people, such as yourselves, if you did?
Originally posted by 8Michael12So, if you can't discern the difference between volumes of evidence, proof beyond a reasonable doubt, gathered over several decades...maybe the best place for you to stay and flap your virtual lips is on internet forums where you can impress yourselves and each other with your stupidity. It's okay with me.
I've got a life, quite a life, maybe you need one too.
Did I do it, did I qualify, did I get...banned?
Wait, maybe I'll ban myself!
