You've noticed!!

Actually, the people who do the most "damage" to the reasonable and
legitimate discourse and study of UFO are not the ordinary debunkers.
After
all, who couldn't use less bunk?

No, the people doing the most damage are a combination of fake
debunkers who
shoot down every innocent inquiry or conjecture, and fake advocates
who
present rafts of "information" with no verifiable backing evidence,
those
who supposedly champion the study of UFOs but present themselves in
such a
comical, ridiculous (and anonymous) fashion as to send those with
honest
curiosity running for the hills fearing that they might be seen in the
same
light.  One group continuously spouts nonsense, the other group
refuses to
budge an inch and admit there is a lack of data that should be
addressed.
Their incredible consistency on both sides gives them away, and turns
the
newsgroups into boring shouting matches where no discernable
information is
exchanged.

There's an old propaganda technique I often see utilized in these
newsgroups.  It has to do with dropping a few ounces of truth in with
a few
tons of nonsense, so that it all ends up looking like nonsense, and so
the
truth is successfully hidden in plain sight and easily dismissed.

I've visited these various newsgroups off and on for nearly 10 years
now,
way back when ParaNet was only a dial-up BBS, and I often wonder to
myself
how even the most dedicated crank can post tirades and nonsense for
literally years without eventually tiring of it.  I hate to be a
conspiricist, but after a while I can only come to the conclusion that
there
are small government intelligence community offices reasonably set up
to
monitor the Internet for security leaks and part of what they do is
act
crazy to chase away ordinary people with legitimate interest in UFOs,
who
have had sightings, etc.  The laughable irony of the situation as I
see it,
is that the folks doing the most ranting and raving, lunatic believers
and
debunkers both, may actually be working for different branches of the
military unbeknownst to each other.  That most of this sniping and
name-calling is being done by one office over here with the CIA, the
other
over here at the FBI, a third batch over at the NSA, AFOSI, and so
on.  Of
course, there's no way for them to communicate that fact to each
other.  You
folks in the government know that one hand doesn't know what the other
is
doing.  "NTK" blocks everything.  Even in private e-mail, they can't
just
ask, "Are you CIA?"  They'll just get back a denial or a rant.  There
are no
established protocols for identifying oneself.  That's why the biggest
kooks
post anonymously.  So their replacement can step right in after they
move
on.  To see you guys argue back and forth is to laugh.  Ha!

And I'd laugh more, but there's a sad thing about it, too.  The sad
thing is
how so much time and energy (and money) is wasted that could be used
to
actually gain some real intelligence on UFOs, something that might be
of
benefit to the country, to all of us.  But, instead, we're treated to
a
non-stop comedy, playing longer than "Guys and Dolls" on Broadway,
chasing
everybody away except the tricksters.  What a waste.

Well, good work, you sorry sons of bitches, arguing back and forth at
each
other for the next ten years... mission accomplished!  And you folks
out
there who aren't intelligence drones, who get taken along for a ride
with
these jokers, learn to spot them for what they are, and don't play
their
stupid games.
