I think the solution is to get over it. Because if there’s one thing that’s worse to read than debate, it’s this kind of thing. Especially when this exact situation is what led you to “quitting” the forum last time. If you don’t like that a thread on a forum is filled with debate and that not everyone believes in aliens and doesn’t have time to present you with arguments you think are worthwhile, too bad.

I like the debate. I like “the peanut gallery.” If people want to say they have an “open mind” and pretend that all opinions are equally valid, then you have to have a thicker skin than this.

The reality is that being a “believer” is absolutely more absurd than being a skeptic. There’s nothing to support it. There are UAPs and reports of what some people “saw” but that doesn’t tell us any more than there are things that are not yet explained. So, there is nothing to “believe.” Right? What exactly would you be believing? We all agree there are unexplained things. Cool. You want to believe it’s something to which there’s zero evidence for? Alright, we’ll toughen up and stop being a paper tiger, because someone might push you on it, and you’re going to have to do better than fold, mock those people, and then tell everyone to be nicer to you.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
