This is a given. I would not begrudge that if they were giving something of value. Another aspect is the ego thing. Some of the nastiest presences in this "field" aren't making any money to speak of, but are instead there for some kind of ego reinforcement. (One case I can think of in...

As has been discussed here (ad nauseam, frankly), for Dolan to have associated himself with the Project Camelot crowd reflects poorly on him, and to present with these wack jobs is more of the same. Walton is personally invested in this subject (if we are to believe his story, and for the...

The gullibility of the UFO audience in general is exceeded only by ... actually, I can't think of anything that exceeds it.

You misunderstand me, Gareth. I stand by my statement. I'm fed up with the troublemakers in the "community," and I am fed up that these idiots aren't locked out, pushed aside, blacklisted, and cast into the outer darkness as they should be. I am pleased Gene and David have banned Ritzmann...

Just yesterday I got an annoyed email from Ritzmann challenging me about the above statement. I don't know him very well, but I doubt he spends time combing these forums for comments about himself, so I suspect some troublemaker made sure he saw it. I wish I could find it, but I recall some...

I'm there. Only wish Buzz has cleaned the guy's clock properly -- let alone all the other astronauts he's called liars. I'd never be able to sit on that jury -- but I'd want to, if nothing else but to deadlock the jury deliberation if it needed to be. Bart Sibrel, you are a brain-damaged...

Thanks for that, S.A. I hadn't heard. The Davey and Goliath cartoons were part of my childhood, too (small town Indiana ... need I say more?)

Schuyler -- I'll second that. Ritzmann seemed to me to be someone who was sincere and had a unique set of experiences and some insights that deserved attention. I haven't listened to any Paratopia episodes or spend any time on the Paratopia forums (and won't), but I suspect you are 100% on...

Don't know, but they've been smoking it a long time whatever it is.

Thanks for sharing, Tommy. Actually, I hadn't noticed Bill Birnes wasn't on the list. Works for me.

Do tell, Tommy. I can think of two myself.

Dateline: MOSCOW – Russian Space Agency Chief Anatoly Perminov denies rumors that a planned mission to destroy the Earth-grazing asteroid Apophis was inspired by its uncanny resemblance to former U.S. President George W. Bush.

That's funny.

I concede I was attempting to overlay more on to it than is really there. I would like to see our species get past its cultural differences and look toward its future and the universe with something of a sense of unity. In that way, I can't think of Earth civilization as a "civilization"...

I'm good with this. There's something called a "tweet-up" that Twitter users do, where folks who are in the same area contact each other and get together. This could be pretty much the same thing.
