assistant: I still stand by that statement.
 I NEVER said that they didn't. So, I'm not wrong.
The point is (or was) that I see many attacks against "skeptics"...but
being a skeptic is what EVERYONE should be until they know what is
happening. What someone "sees" is not proof. For instance, if _I_ see a
"craft" fly past...and _I_ don't know what it is..doesn't mean it was
piloted by aliens from outer space....or does it? Even people that say
they were "abducted" may be insane, delusional...or LYING! And YES..it
might have actually happened.
Sorry, but I saw a post a while back where someone was discussing Grey
anatomy (meaning the physical and anatomical construct of the "Grey
race" of aliens). Now, I'm not being insulting in saying....BULL! Where
did this person see a Grey. (And, I'm not confusing the post with a
reference to Grey's Anatomy (Or is it Gray?)...the book that is a
reference to human anatomy). Please, if the true believer's can go hog
wild and spout such insane stuff...isn't a bit of REALITY to be allowed?
I do. How about a balanced perceptive, though. Well, I know, this IS UFO
True Believer territory...but, you people shouldn't be afraid to be
challenged.
I see the insults against skeptics all the time, and I can handle it.
I'm a skeptic. Seems you true believers NEED us, actually.
