Dear All, Many of you will have obviously noticed my error. The magazine title Tim and Eric are writing is called "UFO News" or it was the last time they spoke to me and not the "Times" as I had put. Of course we all know that "UFO Times" is a magazine produced once a decade by BUFORA. It will probably be once a Millennium now Dave has packed it in. Now here is Tim's chance to get back in and resurrect the dying magazine. It was interesting to read that some people are fed up with all the back biting going on in ufology. Hey, so are we all but as some of you know, if we let these people go unchallenged, who knows what will become of ufology. It may seem unpleasant but we must flush out the ego trippers, the con artists and people who take great pleasure in attacking all for no other apparent reason than their research differs from others. If you are going to challenge people, then do so. We should all ask each other more questions, this tightens up our research and may make us go back and have another look at the cases. There are many out there that can extract the truth from people and have excellent incite into the fantasy prone. There are many newsletters up and down the UK that take the Mickey out of others. This is all done in fun. However when we see people attack others in such a vindictive way for what they believe, then they are obviously insecure if they feel threatened by a difference of opinion. As I stated in my earlier post, there are many ufologists I disagree with but I respect them as people. Yes there are idiots who are making things up and they deserve the full weight of ufology to come crashing down on them. Of course Tim will respond, by picking out every little argument. Every little error but then he is so predictable. I'd even bet a fiver on it. He'll copy umpteen people in on his replies, thinking they actually care about him. Tim's reply will be long, trying to be witty, yet still managing to avoid the important issues and avoiding the questions. Cheers Rory Lushman. Pendle, Hyndburn UFO Network. (UK)
