Marginalizing UFO buffs, or attempts to do so

Copyright 2017, InterAmerica, Inc.

It may not be obvious or known to some of you (honest and open-minded) readers here, but some in the UFO community try to keep us blog writers and web-siters from putting in comments or copy from people they don’t like.

This happened with my post about Anthony Bragalia’s new webs-site and I have a troll who tries to keep me from noting such UFO personalities as Kevin Randle and Nick Redfern, or even my collegiate pal from Canada, Bryan Sentes.

And I know that Kevin has received, in the past, attempted pressures, which he ignored, to censor commentary from me at his blog or references by him to this blog.

And I get the feeling, and it’s only a feeling, that one or two people, who hate my guts (and who doesn’t?), suggest to Anomalist “editors” (listers) that they do a disservice by noting my postings at this blog.

(I can’t imagine Patrick Huyghe allowing this to happen, but … )

That people can censure (offer strong and/or critical disapproval) postings and comments by me and by others is okay with me, but censoring (suppressing commentary of any kind) is anathema to me as a former journalist and guy who likes Edward Snowden or Julian Assange (a little bit).

Even Kevin Randle, who has provided much copy about a MUFON leaders racist remarks, doesn’t suggest he be censored, but that the guy’s racist screed, and other barbaric, indiscriminate commentary has consequences. And Kevin’s postings have brought consequences, without expurgating anything or even suggesting any kind of suppression of free speech.
