I think ultimately its just a suspend disbelief and listen verses kneejerk dismiss everything.
What will purposefully spending time to dismiss someone serve you beyond...well, wasting that time in your life responding to something in disbelief...
sort of pointless and you end up gaining nothing from the experience.
Quick question, do you watch star trek and yell at the TV the whole time that its not real, or do you simply sit back, become entertained, perhaps even allow for wonderment and hopeing to hear how the story advances...
which way is more interesting to spend your time, quick dismissing or interest in storytelling?
And finally...what happens on the off chance that the guy is for real to begin with but simply cant be farked to go into debt to prove to internet skeptics he is who he is?
Anyhow...I respect ya Mask, just wondering why you actually care...
the guy said he knows his proof is not up to par, but frankly, any attempt trumps the others out there to begin with,

You make some decent points. Your right, mentally disturbed people with a sudden fracture of their percieved reality can indeed cause some issues.
Some counterpoints -
Since when will someone convinced of something listen to random internet people doubting them...typically they wont even trust the word of their friends and family, much less random internet people...so for you this has more to do with your friend you were unable to help and not soo much with A.

As for your suggestions of looking within ... I've been doing that for 40 years, nothing changes, I am still me. Actually, there has been one change ... I am more fully in touch with myself than most.
I will not realize one day that this has all been a delusion,
because, it is not a delusion. Remember please, I am the one who has stood on the deck of a starship and been told he was not human. That reality is the reason I undertook the 40+
Mr. Mask says he's concerned about me, he should be more concerned about himself for he is the one who's world bubble is about to burst.
Anyway, my point here is that Mask is wrong, and has never gotten anything about me right. Its kinda like has made up his mind about me, and is going to insist that is the way it is. Course, IF he persists, I may have to actually do something, I'm beginning to feel that he may be the dangerous one here. He keeps poping up in my threads, almost as if he stalking me.
About The Direct Relatives of Kilrhackzox
Three men, with three minds, wrote three syllables and placed them in one hat. After pulling those syllables and placing them in blind order, they learned his name. Then they drank his blood.
To all those faceless and with us on this last adventure towards the empty void, let it be said here and now that you are loved, honored and valued more then any wealth, whore or wonder. You have made the choice to stand among your brothers and sisters. You have taken the drastic step to claim your new family. Among us we have true brotherhood and kinship. Among us we have an army that is true and tempered as if steel. Among us we have each other and what more do we need to remain happy and in good company?
Each one of us has adopted a Mask and the family that comes with it. I have known no blessing greater then the friends around me who have removed their face to stand by me today.
I have never seen so many Gods in one room. I have never before felt so sanctified as I do when we share good times together in assemblage.
I lift my Mask for you all, for you truly are my blood. Kilrhackzox has seen to it that we have found each other, and we shall all see to it that we are never lost again.
One cause, one meaning, one life, one family.

ok, first off, I dont really give up on people and simply take them as entertainment...ok, thats a lie, I do actually,
but if I find I can help, then I do...
I simply do not feel its my mission to take personally anyone not seeing things my way...hell, I think 75% of ATS is flat out nuts, but I dont sweat it.
Out of all the crazy here on ATS, I would venture to say that this guy is in better shape than most...why? because as he says he has seen and continues to see a therapist.
So, its out of your hands, my hands, baby jesus's hands, etc...
so sit back and listen to him verses keep telling him to get a therapist...he has one.
Frankly, I think someone with my approach is more likely to get this guy help than someone with your approach.
I see your passionate opposition towards him and that tends to simply dig peoples heels in further.
I will listen to him, become entertained, and often as stories unfold, hanging threads are visible, a simple tug of it can sometimes unweave the whole tapestry if its poorly constructed.
And there is always the final thought....what if he is right...what if he is telling the truth. I have yet to read everything on his website yet, but plan on it over the next few days..so far,
I see no major inconsistencies,
I did notice though that he did speak before about seeing therapists and you have told him to go see a therapist, that could be swatted back into your corner of dismissing him without even reading what he writes, and therefore discredits what you say
I simply think you dont believe him when he says he is currently seeing a shrink...but why would he lie.
He seems to be wanting to understand himself (with the DNA testing and such) and so seeing a shrink would be part of that process...guy seems pretty level headed.
meh, what do I know...I am simply your run of the mill Saturnite trying to understand you humans anyhow...your all nuts.
ok, out.
So, would ask you to answer the three questions...pure speculation..
If you found out your life was a delusion and you were indeed human:
1) how would you feel about that
2) Would you be suicidal/angry/etc or would you simply smile about it and move on, being content to be a simple human:
3) Would you still be interested in the UFO field or would it simply be too bitter a hobby to hold onto?

I tried reading part one but it just did not do it for me. Sequels always have more of the crappy gratuitous junk I like anyway. The only thing I am missing is your mission here. I see that you have said various things about specifically not being here to help but it seems the mask read you had a specific goal. Would you mind elaborating?

Actually that seems to be a rather complex subject that I don't fully understand. Back in the 90's when I began to resolve some of this stuff, I had some fantisies about being some slien "demi-god" sent here to save the Earth, from what I'm not sure. As time passed I realized that my primary "mission" was two fold, to remain hidden, and to observe and learn about Humans. I have changed the parameters a bit, and have removed the " remain hidden" part. I still observe and learn about Humans, I report my knowledge to my people, and continue to observe.
It should go without saying; that my understanding of all this is constantly changing as I learn more about Human kind, myself, and the cosmos. I think the same could be said about any intelligent being.

Almost every other raw material we have serves a function, diamonds cut anything, silver can be used for a multitude of stuff, but gold itself is all but useless for anything beyond...ooh..pretty.

Oh...had to add (sorry if not on topic) that gold is a prized material in electronics and a great conductor. NASA loves the stuff.
