   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.
