    Now with the insults on my own character and intelligence. You haven't learned a thing have you? Why don't you go read the Sci Forum rules on proper netiquette that you supposedy authored?

    It seems you didn't read my post, above.

    My personal observations on your character, based on my assessment of your posts to this forum, do not amount to me bullying you.

    Also, don't you think it's a little rich for you to complain about my offering my opinions about you, when you spend so much of your time offering up your own assessments of my character and motivations?

    A little less obvious hypocrisy might lead to people taking your complaints more seriously.

    I apologise if I hurt your feelings, fragile flower.

    You get off on putting people down. It's what you do.

    MR, you keep equating insults with "getting off".
    You can only guess at JamesR's kinks, but you know your own kinks.
    You are revealing more about yourself than about anyone else.

    Also, you have a dirty mind.

    *Check's title of thread*

    Nope, it is not about self love..

    It's meant to be about "in defence of space aliens"..

    And yet for the last few weeks, you have not exactly discussed this thread's topic, instead, relegating yourself to discussing what you think people get off on and anything but this thread's topic.

    You aren't the only one, but since you have deliberately gone out of your way to avoid discussing this thread's topic, despite being reminded of it, can you please tell me in a small paragraph or less why I should leave this thread open?

    Because right now, the only argument for it is that it keeps you and a few others contained to this one thread.

    It has absolutely no value. Except for daily reports from all sides about how such and so said/did/posted this or that..

    Inanity is what I speak of James on this thread ? ( context is High lighted ) .

    Not to me though , for me my thinking is more knowledgeable and advanced . You just spout mainstream ; political correct thinking .

    When one is conservative in ones thinking , as you are , your thinking becomes restricted to your own narrow view . Inanity is everywhere , but not in yourself ; not in your thinking . You put limitations on others because you have limitations of what you can conceive , imagine and understand ; and want to really .

    Being conservative is where most people , like yourself are . Its a mindset . A mindset that is stagnant , and a more comfortable place in which to understand things . A comfort zone of thinking . I get it . I get where your coming from .

    Have a good day James R .

    Congratulations. That might well be the longest post I've ever seen you manage to put together on this forum.

    If your thinking was as advanced as you claim, you could explain your reasoning and methods to your readers. But you can't and you don't. That suggests that you're just making one more grandiose, unsupported claim.

    Clearly, you're not at all equipped to comment on anything even mildly technical that I might write here, so we can safely ignore your thoughts on my thinking.

    You have a good day, too!

    And clearly you have no curiosity nor motivation to seek knowledge on the subject ; what evidence does the pro-alien have ? Should be a question that you want answered . But you refuse to do so , why who knows .

    For me the evidence is clear .

    There are more advanced living Beings than our selves in this Universe . Simple as that .

    And I prefer Written testimony . Details .

    I don't know what you're talking about. I've been participating in this thread, looking at all the nonsense Magical Realist has served up. How does that not indicate curiosity on my part?

    Please present your best evidence.

    Great! Please present your best evidence and I'll take a look.

    Let me put it this way ; what books have you read on the subject ?

    Name one or two , and if I don't have this book , I will buy it . Then we can discuss page by page .

    Books are not evidence. And we certainly shouldn't need to read a specific book to analyze evidence.

    If you have a book that references evidence you find compelling, that evidence will exist outside the book, and we can analyze it at our leisure and in our own way. That's the nature of science - it's public, not secret, and withstands multiple independent methods of analysis.

    Got some evidence?

    Because without it, your claim, here, is a completely unfounded opinion - formed by someone(s) who wants you to read their book(s).

    Too many to name. Most of them I read when I was much younger, before I realised why UFOs are bunk.

    I've also followed a lot of UFO investigations in the "skeptic" literature, in publications such as Skeptic magazine and Skeptical Inquirer. Have you ever read any of those?

    What does it matter? Suppose I were to tell you that I've read a book called UFO mysteries by E.M. Schultz, published in 1984. What would that prove to you?

    Why not?

    Have you heard of Blue Book? Well, I read a book once, it was green. I also read a little book, I think it was red.

    I think MR is ''defending space aliens'' based on what he believes to be true. Nothing more or less. Why all the fuss?

    TV shows are also not evidence.

    You need to get away from the idea that some specific source - such as an author of a book or a TV show - can be convincing.

    Books and shows don't own facts or evidence. Those things are public.

    Things that are not public - such as those only found in a book or a TV show - are not facts; they're narrative.

    So all we've heard from you so far is "I believe this guy that wrote this book."

    If you ever ave any evidence, we're here.
