I don't think they're a 'joke', I'm not 'making light' of it,
and I didn't refer to you as 'tin foil hat idiot'.

but thanks for your reply anyway...

" I didn't refer to you as 'tin foil hat idiot'."

I didn't think you meant me. I didn't take it personally. I was just commenting on how people who have never had any experience with UFOs or even with abductions (which are just too numerous to discount), should not be denigrating those who have had these experiences.

Thousands of individuals, who are geographically separated, and also differing in time by decades, who have experienced what I did, watching the spacecraft and little craft over 15+ minutes (and other phenomena) can't all be "crazy" or hallucinating!

That was my only point.

One should maintain at least a neutral attitude toward phenomena of which one does not personally have knowledge.

Thanks for your comment.

P.S. I also might add that mockery, ridicule and scorn are standard responses from people, in many instances, which they use (often unconciously) to mask an innate reaction of fear. . . . fear of the unknown and unexplained.

It makes people feel more comfortable, if they can laugh off a mystery which might.......just might.......be a reality, and which could.......just could.......alter their lives, if proven to be hostile (i.e. "not of this world" - ergo, "alien!")
