Magical Realist:
Always making it personal aren't you? Ooo I'm so dishonest! Blah blah.. Why is it so hard not to insult me?
Actually, I just wish you'd be honest with
yourself. I admit that it's possible that you're not being deliberately disingenous, and you actually have a mental blind spot such that you think that your approach to this stuff is how a reasonable, intelligent person would act.
Does the fact that an intelligent person like me believes in ufos disturb you that it may be true?
Not at all. To tell you the truth, I'd
love it if aliens were visiting us. There would be so much we could learn from them. But no-one who has ever reported a "close encounter" has ever come back with any remotely interesting knowledge that we didn't already know. (Don't you find that strange?)
Does the compelling evidence I present anger you and so unleash your flaming tirades on me and the horrible person I must be?
Whenever you have been pressed to provide more than third-hand youtube clips, you have utterly failed. Your idea of what constitutes "compelling evidence" is laughable if this is the best you can do.
I think your own posts speak more about your own pathetic dishonesty and your inability to consider this topic objectively.
Interesting that you want to accuse
me of being dishonest. What, specifically, do you accuse me of being dishonest about? My views, I would have thought, have been communicated quite clearly to you.
Hence the desperate "it's all fake" stance and the litany of tired ad homs about me and how deceitful I'm being.
I caught you out posting stuff that had obviously been faked. And when I did so, you continued to stick to your story that it was real, until eventually overwhelming evidence forced you to back down in that particular instance.
I have been very careful not to make claims about your videos that I cannot support. Thus, I have never said "That's definitely faked" (except in one or two instances where they
have been definitely and provably faked). Mostly, I have just asked you sensible questions to test the supposed strength of your "compelling" evidences. And you have run away from even that basic level of scrutiny, every time.
Just discuss the points I raise. If you think the evidence is faked, then tell me why. What evidence can you present for that claim? You can't just raise suspicion about a documentary or a photo or an account and not say why.
I have always been careful to explain to you why I think particular footage might be unreliable or fake. You cannot honestly claim that I haven't told you why.
But ultimately it is not
me who has the burden of chasing every spurious claim you make down some rabbit hole, especially given your penchant for spamming the forum with one spurious video after another. Rather, you must recognise that the burden lies on
you to make your case for aliens/ghosts/Bigfoot or whatever other woo you're peddling.
You have a search engine. Use it..
See above. It is not my burden to set out to debunk the hundreds of spurious videos that you thoughtlessly serve up here. It is up to you to show that they are reliable evidence of what you claim.
No less than you consider it very important to your vision of yourself and your place in the universe that all your scientistic beliefs be true, to the extent that you're completely closed to any suggestion that you consider the alternative. Physician heal thyself..
Which particular scientistic beliefs are you referring to?
In fact, it is something of a hobby of mine to take an interest in bizarre claims of the kind that you peddle here. I do not dismiss them out of hand, but rather ask sensible questions to see whether they can withstand reasonable scrutiny. Apparently, they can't. Or you can't, at any rate.
No..neither you nor anyone else are tutoring shit.
Like I said, you're highly resistant to looking objectively at the woo and actually
thinking about it.
You relentlessly ad hom and insult and infract me for presenting facts and evidence for phenomena you dogmatically deny, pretending to know more about a subject that I have been studying for around 15 years.
If you had really been "studying" this stuff for 15 years, properly, then one would reasonably expect that by now you would have a cache of really persuasive evidence to present. And yet, the best you can serve up is youtube clips that can be found in under a minute by any idiot who types "ufo sighting" into a search engine.
You are in no position to tutor anyone on this subject.
With all due respect, I don't think you're qualified to judge that. It's fine, Magical Realist.
You don't have to learn. Nobody is going to force you to give up your fantasies.
On the contrary, you are the ones who have been tutored and educated on this topic. Your irrational and obstinate denial of it's validity as a real and distinct phenomena is the primary reason I move after so many pages of flames and ad homs. Noone one can educate someone who constantly screams "Fake!" with every presentation of the topic.
The fact that you are reduced to telling lies about those calls of "fake" speaks volumes about you, Magical Realist.
