I learned so much from Greg, especially about being open minded to the exploration of the topic, and Trained Observer totally cracked my brain wide open. He had things pretty nailed down in terms of thinking critically about the subject. There were two other characters, whose names now escape me...

I remember this place used to be humming with a lot of exceptional posters - some with brilliant knowledge and insights in so many diverse fields. It made for very dynamic dialogue. I loved the intensity some topics brought out in the community. I learned a lot from some pretty smart cats. But...

Favourites include: Jerome Clark's insightful analysis, Brad Steiger's mellifluous storytelling, Jaques Vallee's detailed and meticulous approaches, Jim Moseley the Court Jester who kept us sane and entertained, Stan Gordon's exceptional contributions to research - he's got the best stories of...

I was just thinking about starting a new thread on this very topic, but let's just revive an old thread instead. That seems more fitting in these silent Paracast days. I'm a long haul Paracast listener. I came in close to the begining with Biedny, and swallowed up all those episodes and then...

@Randall I'm not sure about the requirements you've outlined for being labeled a "real ufologist". I don't think Ufological history is the defining feature, nor a necessary prerequisite. What those who have studied the phenomena should be excited about is the fact that real scientists, post...

I'd say two eggheads where one doesn't know anything about ufology, and is the purveyor of questionable ideologies IMHO, and the other is an actual member of the invisible college in the truest sense. I can't remember if he was James or Tyler in American Cosmic, but what we learned in Pasulka's...

Some highly honorable sci fi mentions:

Probably Bradbury's most political novel, in a collection of works that are so easy to read and engaging. But here he really nails the freedom of speech issue down and warms us, as he often did, about surrendering to technology as it so easily gets used to monitor us, control us and kill us at a...

I live in a 1970"a sci fi framework for the most part as I was raised on those and classic 50'&60's sci-fi. Consequently I can watch the original The Thing endlessly for its rapid fire dialogue and definitive premise of a group of people closed off and isolated from the world while dealing with...

Well I will echo @Tyger 's statement about treating people with respect . In the context of a forum I'd rather talk Bigfoot than argue sex, politics or religion; because, I live in a different reality when it comes to Trump or any right wing ideology. I'm a straight white male, married to a...

This is my great dear regarding technology. Sure in the past you could listen to only the two or three radio stations you wanted, or found back further even ban Ragtime albums from being played in your house, but in an age where technology is omnipresent and people can be fed bullshit every...

Spielberg has always known how to tap into the pulse of the nation. He knows how to utilize that intersection of belief and curiosity, fear and wonder as seen in many of his films. The Christian population stats of America says a lot in terms of why this movie will be successful and it explains...

When you do a search for Sandy Hook in the Brighteon search engine these are among the top results. This is not about getting some things wrong. This is about calculated disinformation.

Mike Adams is Building an Alternate Reality Online In the world of disinformation and creating your own echo chamber of beliefs where your search engine is guided by Breitbart and Donald Trump Mike Adams is king. I don't understand this kind of thinking. What we know about through history is...

Generally speaking, using human history as an example, whenever a technologically advanced culture makes contact with a culture originally isolated from the visitors, the result is disastrous: death, disease, and the dissolution and/or outright destruction of that culture. North and South...

@Tyger I was just going to say the same thing as Randall. I remember losing big messages that I laboured over before. My workaround was to actually do the larger technical messages elsewhere and then paste it in. I will just have to receive the messages telepathically instead I guess 🤔

I miss the many strange personalities from back in the day. I learned so much from @trainedobserver about UFO's and enjoyed some of the exceptional insights some of the posters had. And now this forum is ridiculously inactive compared to where it used to be. In collectivity there is better...

I had forgotten myself. Highlight a chunk of text from the OP and then hit the +quote button. Do this as often as you like. Then go to the message area at the motton of the thread and click inside there and click the insert quotes button. All your quotes you highlighted will be there and then...

I thought it was a fair article too. I wonder where you've been as you were once a stalwart of this place along with @pixelsmith. I'm attempting a resuscitation of the forum. Where's @Goggs Mackay when you need him? Or how about @marduk?

I responded to this on the other thread where you posted it.
