No more scoffing and ridicule...
Attention all,
If you feel the need to scoff at, make fun of, or ridicule a member because he made a post or started a thread that you don't agree with, or that you
think is stupid, crazy, too out there or ridiculous. Do not post anything. Ufology and paranormal studies have suffered for decades because anything
in that area is constantly ridiculed and made fun of by the media and by the average joe, because of it conflicting with their beliefs of what reality
is. Not one belief on reality is true, and no one has the "copyright" on what's 100%, no 101% true or not. Not me, not you, not society, not
science... NO ONE. Thinking it's otherwise is just being ignorant.
Most people simply don't give the chance for intelligent, unbiased and rational discussion with these matters. They revert to ridicule and scoffing.
This is IMO the dumbest, stupidest habits people can have, and unfortunately close to 99% of the average people suffer from this nonsense. If we at
ATS are any different, I have yet to see that with most or all of us.
So you will not ridicule or make fun of someone else when they post something that conflicts with your version of reality. OR else I will delete your
post, and consider your post a form of abuse, offensive and of poor taste, being thus a violation of the Terms & Conditions.
Deny Ignorance...

Good post, bro. But now here come the defensive posts about how members like SinCity702 are hurting the seriousness and ruining the credibility of
Ufology.
SinCity702, I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt here that what you are saying is true--that you
did have an extended version of
that video. But if you are surprised at the fact most people are not believing you it's because you went about telling us of it all wrong. And it
didnt help that all your evidence, including the person who gave you this video, was so conveniently (or
inconveniently) missing.
If I were you, first thing I would have done here was start asking around for information on how to recover deleted files. I would have first tried
to come here with at least some form of evidence. You must understand that all you really have here is a story, and nothing more.
Anyhow, good luck in turning up that video file. Sounds like something really special.
