The Uncivility of UFOers

Copyright 2020, InterAmerica, Inc.

The passivity of visitors/readers here isn’t surprising. But the rudeness of some is.

Theo Paijmans [Theo163 online], for instance, is irritated because I’ve often not accepted his critical musings, but when I asked him to provide what he found out when he “vetted” Albert Rosales’ humanoid listings (found at Albert’s web-site and in his Humanoid series of books often noted here), no response was forthcoming.

Dvelys posted a comment, not long ago, about practices to stimulate the mind and I offered to provide some current thinking about the dangers of meditation. No response from Dvelys, who is scouring the internet for fringers who provide sustenance to Dvelys’s obscure predilections.

A former friend who has become a sh*t sent a comment in response to my noting that persons who visit here merely lurk by telling me that 'bots are not persons". What am I to do with that non-sequitur response?

Tim Hebert is surprised that I’ve taken to compliments about Facebook – which is hardly true – although I do acknowledge that while there is a lot of dreck – a heavy load of it – all over Facebook, the UFO crowd there is generally robust and polite among themselves.

 The UFO community at Facebook often responds to comrades’ UFO filings and posts, offering support or addenda that is helpful or pertinent.

Yes, there is a lot of hooey, but it’s proffered humorously. Nothing like that is found at UFO blogs or web-sites, mostly filled with commentary or retorts that are either sycophantic or mooshy. [See my pal Kevn Randle’s blog for examples.]

Here I have gotten requests to expand upon, with links and sources, some of my posterings, and I do, but there are no replies from those requesting such.

Anthony Bragalia likes it when I link to his UFO utterances. But when persons comment about his postings I’ve listed, Tony chooses to ignore their questions or rebukes.

Terry the Censor -- from Canada, where one experiences civility generally -- often asks for more info on a posting here. I provide it, and he disappears for months at a time, never to return and retrieve what he's asked for.

I know that UFOers are generally an uncultured lot, not inclined to like or pay attention to the cultural refinements of society or human civilization, but being responsive and/or polite might go a long way to delaying the descent into barbaric activity and thought that is blatant among the Trumpers who’ve taken over America.

Is that asking too much?
