Sage or The Sage, whatever, what are you doing here in the UFO(Alien
Visitors) newsgroup?

Find something that really interests you.  You  have no desire of
learning anything new and no interest in the extraterrestrial beings
etc. Right? 

Then GO AWAY..

Don't make any more noise in this group.


There's at least one of his type in every paranormal group or discussion 
board on the web.  We're blessed with a half a dozen or so.  

My theory is: they were bullies in school, but now that all their friends 
have grown up, and their lives have amounted to nothing, they fell back 
into their old habits and memories of good times.  Now, instead of 
picking on kids who are socially awkward or wear 'non-hip' clothes, they 
pick on people's spelling mistakes and grammar.  They delight in making 
people angry and have people talk about them.

And being that they know UFology is stuggling with a credibility problem 
due to "tabloid nonsense", and government coverups, we make easy prey.  

Some have become proficient at debunking, while others simple resort to 
crude insults.  But none of them know anything about science, which 
ironically, is what they think they are defending.
