There are facts, and there are facts. Depending on who is defining happenings as "facts", maybe there aren't as many facts as one would think. I once worked with people wanting to get their inventions on the market and in front of the public. Not as a promoter, but as a writer, composer and engineering analyst to determine if the "invention" they loved was fit for exposure in a scientific sense, and was actually something worthy of claiming what the inventor thought the invention was capable of doing. It will come as no surprise that every one who had an idea thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, and my group was wrong if we decided it would be difficult, if not impossible to do what they thought it would do! Criticism is available and sometimes rampant in all new ventures and untested avenues where one person or group presents a hypothesis and another person or group is able to view that hypothesis. In this "free" society, there are no two people, or no two minds that are alike. But that's OK isn't it. You agreed that someone might disagree when you, as TIGHAR, started the FORUM. Sure, there are and should be RULES. But sometimes the reason for a forum is to have opinions presented, whether the opinions support your "facts" or not. "Read them and weep!" I heard someone say. I think if you take the opinions as opinions of your opin ion, you will find there really isn't as much hate mail as you think. We're just expressing an opinion, sometimes not very informed, perhaps, but an opinion. That's our way of saying thanks for the forum and a chance to be involved with TIGHAR.
