I find it interesting that fundamentalist UFOists (ETI-UFO is an emerging religion, after all) cry foul when they encounter skeptical responses to their claims, regardless of how outlandish they seem. But I find it far more fascinating when they counter-claim that they are being suppress, oppressed, at the mercy of "disinformation agents," or simply being "attacked by borgs."
Bradguth has done the later and
Norval and Gale claim they are victims of "disinformation agents."
The irony is that they each have their own websites from which to "publish" their nonsense. In addition, they have a
multitude of message forums to visit where they'll be made to feel right at home. MARTYB2K would probably love to have either of these nutters camp out in his "forum," and then there's the UFOEvidence board, where they believe they're doing "scientific" work.
Yet, Norval, Gale, Brad, Btimsah, et al will come to
sciforums and when they encounter criticism and skepticism, they balk, cry foul, and accuse the moderators of being "unfair," "stupid," or part of a "borg collective." By the way, Bradguth
really believes that there is a borg collective working against him, its not just hyperbole.
Its as if those that have a wild claim/speculation need some sort of validation that they are being
persecuted or
suppressed in their efforts.
I've written about their exploits here at sciforums and other sites in
this webpage (since we're spamming websites
).
Both Norval/Gale and Bradguth have publically announced their failure at convincing the skeptical community at sciforums (though only Brad mentions us by name) and other places as proof positive that they are on to something that must be suppressed and attacked. I think they truly believe this.
If not for validation of this, why post at sites where they are likely to receive skeptical inquiry, critical review, and even ridicule for their claims when so many sites like Martyb2k's exist that cater to the wild side?
