Much if not most of the same tactics attributed to 'skeptibunkers' are also 
used by the 'True Believers'...
if you consider the pseudospeak,  technobabble, and outright falsehoods 
spewed by many fanatical 'believers', you'll see  that some debunkers have 
valid points.

To blindly accept any/all claims of ET existence is just as ridiculous and 
unacceptable as to blindly deny any chance of their existence.  There are 
those out there who prey on uncritical belief in anything.. just look around 
and witness the growth of EcoDoom movements,  homeopathic voodoo medicine, 
religions, cults, contactees,  apocalyptic prophets...  every time a 
debunker pulls the rug out from under a charlatan, they are doing all of us 
a favor.  Does 'Johnathan Reed' ring a bell?

Let them look.  Let them talk.  If you doubt their words, say so.  But say 
so calmly and rationally. Rather than posting drivel and blindly condemning 
with senseless personal attacks and slurs, perhaps each camp would be better 
served if one could post facts and knock down the others' arguments point by 
point.  It would be much better than 'your momma's a whore' and 'you're one 
of the evil gubberment conspirators' crap

People are demanding that skeptics not be so quick to deny the tales of the 
pro-ET camp;  the 'faithful' should extend the same tolerance to the 
skeptics.  Blind faith either way is dangerous and unacceptable today, with 
the daily emergence of hoaxers, opportunists, and  the 
'Earth-Is-Doomed-But-I-Know-The-Secret-Handshake-To-Get-Into-The-Bomb-Shelter' 
and  'make-a-quick-buck-lecturing-as-an-alien-contactee' types. They're out 
there, people.   And by not questioning them, you allow them use you.
