Way to go Ignorethefacts, you have succeeded in flaming yet another member on what they believe, however right or wrong they may be.
It's not flaming. Would it not be logical to expect someone who so ardently believes and supports something enough to come on the internet and debate those that are also into the same subject to know his or her facts, and to expect them to have looked into something even a little deeper than the surface by looking into the people and circumstances on a certain case or conferences...or whatever for that matter?
I don't want to believe, I want to know. That is the difference between me and many on here. You say I am bashing someone for their beliefs, no sir. I am shedding the light on their ignorance which leads to their beliefs. Do I come on here and spell it out for them? Do I come on here and give them endless links they can follow? No, I point them in the right direction and hope they take the journey themselves. They will learn more if they seek and find information on their own.
The whole problem with this subject, and the reason it is so darn laughable it specifically because of people and their "beliefs". You can defend that all you want, people have the right to believe what they want. Too many people treat this like a religion, and figure just because they want to believe something it gives weight to the subject matter.
Ufology and personal beliefs don't go together that well. Theories, ideas..even logically based assumptions have their places here, but they should not be confused with belief.
And "conferences" like this are marketed and targeted at people and their beliefs, not the mass media or general public. If they were, they would come off as being so hollow and foolish. But you can get away with hollow and foolish all day long in the Ufology crowd, this thread demonstrate that point very clearly.
Someone around here need to say what I am saying, lest we fall deeper into a well of ignorance and foolishness that even Lassie could pull us out of.
But the point was to get the message out. The message being "ETS exist," thats all.

It never seaces to amaze me how many people around here don't understand that very simple fact, and attack me for saying so.
