UFO buffs and their attention deficit disorder

Copyright 2018, InterAmerica, Inc.

Everyday, I struggle to keep readers (commenters) here on topic, on track with the subject matter I put online.

And I find that my blogger pals, such as Kevin Randle and Nick Redfern, also contend with the same problem: their followers and fans take their ideas and writings and wrap them around what they want to put forward, which, often, has little or nothing to do with the matter at hand.

This bespeaks a mental problem; e.g.. ufologists staying in tune with what is being discussed at the moment they log in to a blog or web-site.

Instead of starting their own UFO domain, online, these slacker ufologists mar the content of those hoping to make points about UFOs that are relevant to the phenomenon or to UFOs in the news of the day.

These wayward people don’t stray maliciously. They just don’t have the mental stamina to stay on point, and wring something worthwhile from the discussions some of us wish to invigorate.

Ufologists are an iffy lot, for a number of reasons, mostly sociopathic or psychological.

Hoping to bring them to academic heel is a daunting task. This mob of mental malcontents has always blocked the path to sensible rumination of the interesting and intriguing phenomenon.

Kevin Randle puts up with comments for his postings that go “into the weeds” as he says.

He, like others, is just happy to get comments, sort of like those Facebookers who probe for “Likes” at their Facebook pages.

I, on the other hand, only let a few off-topic discourses slip through, so I don’t appear as fascistic as some see me.

But it’s an irritation that has to be stemmed if the subject is to be allowed a sensible, intelligent forum from which to be examined.

Is that too much to ask?
