Brian Zeiler, You're Doing A Great Service/ UFO
Debunkers in Massive
Retreat.
utter nonsense deleted <<<<<

Brine Zooloo (Brian Zeiler) was an idiot and so are
you.

For those new to the newsgroups, Harry Borsch is a member of the
National Security Agency whose purpose here is to disrupt these
newsgroups.  He has failed miserably  His debunking efforts are as
worthless as he is.


A reader added the following Golden Rules of the UFO Debunker
(Graduate Program):

1.)  Guilt by association. The idea of this tactic is to directly or
indirectly yoke UFO research to more bizarre areas. For example:

a)  Psychics; especially those of the amazing Kreskin variety.

b)  Witchcraft, voodoo, apparitions, snake handlers, spiritualism, and
other Bovine eschatology. Everyone loves a good ghost story.

c)  Parapsychology. ESP, Imply sickness of the mind.

d)  Linkage to elaborate and incredulous conspiracy theories
rather than facts. Sows lots of doubt and makes UFOs consigned to the
lunatic fringe.

e)  Imply a tradition rooted in mythology and spiritual fairy tales.
Employ false exegesis of various religious scriptures for support. Why
not blame the devil?

f)  Gather UFO support from extremist groups, assorted crackpots,
criminals, secret societies, cults,,...etc..


2.) Misinformation.

a) Encourage men with "credibility" to testify of Government cover-
ups, secrecy, and collusion with alien malefactors. The idea here is
that the most dangerous lie is the one closest to the truth. Somewhat
like offering a fine steak laced with just a bit of arsenic. However,
to be real good at this you need reliable source of true information.
Lacking this offer a creative theory of your own; no doubt someone
else will embrace it.


3.) False bifurcation.

a) Make people choose between limited and unacceptable alternative
"either-or" explanations.

4.) "Totalism"

a) Encourage the belief that a theory is entirely true or entirely
false. No grey areas permitted. Use this to promote heated and bitter
debates between UFO researchers. Make people draw lines between
science and chicanery over minute differences of understanding.


5.) Straw man attack.

a) Fashion a dummy position held by a UFO researcher. Then proceed to
rip it apart. Many will discredit the researcher on this false
premise.

6.)  Whipping Boy.

a) When a UFO researcher is caught in some error, use this as a
platform to debunk the field.

Warning: Prospective graduates are going to have to work at this
degree. No matchbook universities or mail-order sheepskins here!
