I've been reading this thread from the beginning and have enjoyed watching it evolve from simply beautiful pictures of a foreign body, to concrete
proof of a massive secret government and/or alien mining operation. I applaud the eyes and creative minds that have outlined these amazing structures
in these pictures, and the open-minded exploration of possibilities which should always be the hallmark of ATS.
Unfortunately, in just the last couple postings, the smugness level has reached a place where I can't just sit idly by any longer.
Now I am going to slowly raise my hand and admit that I am one of those hideous people that cannot see a damn thing you are talking about.
I'm looking for arches and vapor and boxes and cranes and...and, honest to goodness, I have a very healthy sense of "possibility" and pretty good
eyesight...
and I'm looking at pictures that could be static on my television and someone has put a few apparantly arbitrary lines on it and the words "PARKING
STRUCTURE" next to it and I am straining to see it and then I'm told that the ramp on the left of the structure is what gives it away and I am
laughing at my monitor because for the life of me I
don't see what the hell people are talking about.
This is all fine and good.
People see things I don't see all the time, and I wouldn't begrudge someone else's vision.
But then you go and start taking shots at people who don't see what you see.
And that seems a little unfair to me.
So...for the record...make your assertions of the amazing structures and mining towns that you have discovered and have a great time gawking at them.
But please...please please please...don't throw stones at those of us that cannot see what the hell you are talking about.
We're in the majority.
And we are keeping it to ourselves that we think you're nuts because this is ATS and that's what we're supposed to do.
Please offer us the same courtesy, no matter how blind, ignorant, and stupid you think we are.
Thanks, and happy hunting...
