Assessing this blog’s readership

Copyright 2017, InterAmerica, Inc.

You can see from this capture of my blog stats what topics are favored and which aren’t.

Readers here don’t like postings that poo-poo the UFO/ET probability. (Most living in the nostalgic past when we all thought that Donald Keyhoe was right: Flying Saucers From Outer Space.)

But, for me, that changed when NASA made it clear with its photos and images of the vast Universe and distances between probable solar systems in our own galaxy how improbable ET visitation would be or is.

(I won’t re-tread my anti-ET stance here.)

Let me note what I see when I gallop around the internet, looking at other UFO blogs.

Kevin Randle’s blog [kevinrandle.blogspot.com] is my first stop on a foray of other UFO blogs.

Kevin has a plethora of regular readers (fans) and others, me among them.

Yet, I am not distressed by those who comment at his blog. They are usually ass-kissers and wackos, if their descriptive names and facial (online identity) photos are taken into account.

While my readers use their real names, Kevin’s use “nom de plumes” or avatarial names and photos.

And they rarely contribute anything worthwhile except to applaud Kevin for his UFO work, which we all applaud but less sycophantically.

Their commentary is worthless, actually, and a waste of time to read generally. (See comments there from PurrlGurrl and Bombastic Bill for examples.)

But such online effluvia is not unique to Kevin’s blog. Check out Marc OC’s site or Greg Bishop’s and other UFO oriented blogs. They are flush with people who ride the UFO horse but take it nowhere worth anything pertinent to the UFO debate.

Kevin, like the rest of us who offer up our opinions and views on UFOs, appreciates kind words and thankful encomiums, but such commentary is about as worthwhile as the sludge that washes up on seashores.

The UFO community is flush with hangers-on and morons, as is the case with the bulk of onliners who use Facebook and social media to present themselves to the world.

Can’t we bloggers get responses from a more intellectual coterie of readers? How hard is it to present reasoned views and observations about UFOs and the postings that we bloggers try to present about the phenomenon?
