Your credibility was established in 1997....at below zero. You definitely don't need to worry about anybody damaging your credibility since you yourself kicked the shit out of it years ago but hoped everyone had forgotten or were newbies. Well unfortunately we found out about your credibility due to this classic:
Marc, you're back!!! We were getting worried you had killed yourself while out hunting saucers with Jeb and John Boy in the Tennessee hills. Find any??? Thought not. Boy, that's a relief, this newsgroup would be so much the poorer without you, less kooks to laugh at.
Sucker. Why do you think I mentioned that I had discussed UFOs in the past and those posts were archived? I was hoping one of you fools would try and use this tactic of digging up an ancient post in an attempt like you just made.
Well we tried and it was a resounding success. You claim to be a skeptic when in fact you're not a skeptics arsehole, you're a raving kook who believes in saucers but has zero proof or crediblity
Last time it was Sherilyn who dug up an old post about of mine insisting that the "Face on Mars" was most likely a natural rock formation in an attempt to label me a skeptic!
Fuck, that exclamation mark at the end is apt. You, a skeptic??? That Sherilyn sure is one brainless bitch!!! Most skeptics have something approaching logical thought, you however are a complete penis head!!!
Unfortunately for you, my credibility in this newgroup came from the honest skeptics. It was the support of honest skeptics that kept me in this newsgroup when I was younger. What he has below is a post from the last time I was here. In fact, it was the event that caused me to re-appear last time. Some material had been found that was unexplained, and had some unusual charactaristics too it. The honest skeptics took a wait and see attitude,
You seem to confuse honest skeptics and kooks, but then you would kook. as
you would expect, but the debunkers immediately (and very hypocritcally) immediately dissmissed it before it had even been studied! It was going to be studied almost right away, if I remember right we only had to wait a few months to find out the results. This had serious potential as hard evidence, exactly what they had always demanded, and they were just giving it the usual debunker dismissal.
Maybe cos the debunkers had confidence that it would be proven to be complete bullshit just like all the other complete bullshit that has been coming from all you saucerheaded kooks. Has it ever occurred to you that people like Derrell Sims make a tidy profit from all you frothing, believing kooks??? Thought not. This post was a part of that discussion. While
this was happening a local radio station offered $1 million dollars for any physical evidence of UFOs, and when I wrote them an e-mail about this (at the time) brand new thing that had been found, they just had no interest. My reply too them went a little overboard
For you it went a little overboard. For the rational folks at the radio station you came across as a rabid, frothing kook. Hmmmm....wonder why that was?? (by my standards, it certainly didn't
approach the ravings of a lunatic debunker like Pere or even Mike) and this post was part of a discussion about that. Keep reading, there's more after the post...From: Kavik Kang (kang@dimensional.com) Subject: Roswell Material and the Media View: Complete Thread (2 articles) Original Format Newsgroups: alt.alien.visitors, alt.paranet.ufo Date: 1997/07/16 Hello everyone, For years it has been said that once there was hard, physical evidence that "the whole world would be talking about it". That it would be a huge story, that it wouldn't be treated like the other evidence is treated (with ridicule and debunker's games). Now we know that isn't true. On July 4th, the announcement that there seroiusly might be that "Holy Grail" was made. It hasn't received any appreciable media coverage, and doesn't appear that it will any time soon. When will the majority of people hear about it? After the evidence is stolen (like with the "Coso Artifact")? Although the results of the investigation are not final, all indications are that this is the real deal. There is no excuse for this to not receive coverage. I have been "up to something" for the last few days, and this is a perfect example of...well, actually of quite a few things. A local radio station here in Denver (www.thefox.com) was having a "contest" where they are offering $1 million dollars for proof of aliens (a peice of wreckage or a body part). They had a commercial that said they would "get to the bottom of the truth once and for all" and "provide legal defense against any actions against you". I decided to contact them and let them know about the material that Dr. VernonClark has. The fact that I had to tell them about it (since nobody else seemed to know about it) after a week of offering $1 million says a lot, I think, not many people have heard about this yet. Now, I have to admit, I really blew it when I contacted them. I came off like a stark raving lunatic partly because I was angry, and partly because I was trying to play a stupid "AAV game" with them. I really regret making that mistake, and I imagine they are convinced I am just some nutcase even though I very quickly realized I was being stupid and stopped. They have apparently blocked my access to send them E-mail or access their WWW page, which I can understand because my first two letters to them left them with a terrible impression of me. Didn't know you could do that, I've never screwed up and sounded like a total lunatic before so its never happened to me until now:-) Anyway, this radio station spent a week offering this $1 millon, cracking jokes, and generally making fun of the whole subject. I gave them the information, and VernonClark's E-mail address and in the end they decided not to even mention it. What bothers me about this is that by offering $1 million dollars, ridiculing the subject, and then not even mentioning that there might be real evidence when it is presented to you, seems dreadfully wrong too me. It leaves the impression in everyone that heard it that "there can't be any evidence, they would have tried to claim the million". They, unknowingly, ran an excellent "debunker's game". It was the very definition of the term "useful idiot". In addition to this, the contest requirements are rather questionable. Obviously, this was meant to be light-hearted, as most people take the subject that way. However, they require a letter from the Air Force verifying your submission. Now, this is debunkery 101, make the evidencial goal unattainable. But beyond that, the commercial offers "legal defense" for those who make submissions. Legal defense against whom? If the Air Force has to OK it, who is going to be causing legal trouble? The aliens? "They" (if "they" exist) couldn't have planned a better propoganda campaign agianst the material if they had tried. This is one of the better examples of being a "useful idiot" that I have seen. Hold a "contest", offer $1 million dollars, set a requirement that can't be met, and then heap on the ridicule. If real evidence is presented, don't discuss it. The radio station honestly doesn't seem to get my point at all. Like I said, I came at them like a "UFO nutcase" at first, and that was a big mistake. But this evidence speaks for itself. Under the circumstances, they should have brought it up even if it dosn't meet the qualifications for their contest. It seems the responsible thing to do, and broadcasters, I thought, did carry some responsibility with that role. I realize the results are not final, but they are enough to warrant mention in the media. I can't beleive this is getting almost no coverage at all. I wonder if it will get coverage when the tests are complete? Will all the TV stations and newpapers all decide, on the same day without any event that might have triggered it, to all of a sudden make it one of the days top stories (like happened with the Arizona sightings)? Eventually, this story will come out if the evidence continues to hold up, but how long will it be? It is certainly "newsworthy" already. I don't think there is some all-powerful, dark, evil, conspircy preventing the news from coming out. I think each media outlet has its own reasons for not going with it, and as a result almost nobody uses it. There never has been a huge conspiricy, just an attitude of ridicule and derision fostered in the '50s that continues to hold up to this day. More than just not mentioning the cases that really have merit, they actively debunk them without even realizing it like this radio station has done. Its been like that all along, we are "they". The media and the people themselves have kept the lid clamped down on this thing, and we see it demonstrated on a regular basis. -- "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." -- Neil Peart Lets face it Kavik or Marc Michalik, you are a full blown, card carrying, certified saucerhead, no two ways about it!!![Isn't this great stuff. As I've been saying all along, debunkery is just a stupid little game, and he's telling you the same thing rght here. He thinks he claiming some great victory, he thinks he's won the game. But he has a few problems...For example, nowhere in this post, or in any post about this subject (you can search through my posts forever, you'll see I telling you the truth), do I claim that this material is of alien origin.
You were desperately hoping Marc, see below.
Although the results of the investigation are not final, all indications are that this is the real deal. There is no excuse for this to not receive coverage.
'All indications are that this is the real deal'.........sounds like a foaming believer to me. How could I? I had no idea. All we knew was that is was very unusual, apparently very
high-tech (if I remember right, it was like 3 micron layers of bizmuth and something else), and unidentifiable too various civilians in industries that made similar materials who had seen it. Then, of course, there's also nothing "kooky" here, and nothing that damages my credibility...] So, Micheal, how exactly do you get "full blown, card carrying, certified saucerhead" from this post, or even the thread that you got this post from? Apparently you believe that anyone that so much as mentions any subject even remotely related to UFOs is automatically a "full blown, card carrying, certified saucerhead", since that is the only way that you could reach that conclusion from this very old post that you hand-picked out of literally hundreds. Out of all my posts, this is the best you could find in terms of making me look like a nutcase... I'd say that this is, in fact, good evidence of my rational and skeptical nature,
No Marc, it's a clear indication that you're kook, so just accept it. this being the "kookiest" post
of mine that you could find. It also shows your desperation to label me a kook, grasping at any straw you can grab, thanks! Some day these guys are going to realize how skeptical a person I am...
I'm skeptical of your claim, saucerhead.
