I would like to thank Huber, Schwartz and Nelson for proving something
to
me. You are right the problem isn't that you can't prove a negative.
But you
definitely have a blind spot but not the one I always thought it was.
That
blind spot is called preconceived notions'. Your unwillingness to
consider
any evidence is proof enough that you don't really want to know the
truth.
Because if you knew the truth, you would have to change your
preconceived notions.

Thomas Kuhn, in his book 'The Structure of Scientific Revolutions' he
describes the reactions of scientists to new discoveries and hard it
is for
them to make changes in their basic beliefs.

Kuhn noticed that scientists would go to any lengths to deny the
validity of
new theories or the need to change their minds.  He describes the
symptoms
associated with fundamental change:

     1. Persistent denial
     2. Refusal to consider evidence
     3. Reluctance to criticize old ideas
     4. Slander of new-thinking colleagues
     5. Anger at having to give up cherished dogmas

Notice how EXACTLY this fits the skeptic/spooks.

And the problem is that the skeptic/spooks are DESPERATELY TRYING TO
PROVE THE NEGATIVE, that is, that ETs dont exist and all the evidence
that they do exist doesn't exist.  In any moderated forum they would
be expelled
immediately.

Many people ask me why do most (over 80%) of debunker commit suicide.

The answer to that is easy.  First off, many State Debunkers want to
come clean and tell what they know about the ET reality.  But the
moment they do that they break their written contract with the Agency
and thus must be terminated.  This has happened to many debunkers such
as Sagan, and Usenet debunkers such as Twit, Bryson, Borsch, Adams,
EEL, R Quack, Lewis, Angelsea and many others, too numerous to name.

Other debunker commit suicide when they have a crisis of conscience.
This does not happen to too many since most debunkers have no
conscience, but it does to a few.  Some debunkers off themselves
because it is the right thing to do.  We are hoping that Hagar, VD-VAC
and debunker sympathizer Whorey will follow this process.

I trust the fully explains your question,
