reply to post by RiotComing
Hello RiotComing. You very much impressed me today. I love it when someone surprises me like that. I really thought at first that you were
attacking Isaac, but your second post was much more clear, and I wanted to take a moment to comment on what a great post I think it was.
In the middle, you said this:
"While I do think that is a fair point, I do absolutely think that your personal opinion is important in this case. Why? I know you believe in the
need for clarity and the concern of unreferenced data presented as fact within ufology. In the case of these ET photographs.. scores of photographs..
I feel that unless you sincerely believe that a good percentage of the pictures are genuine, then one has to question if it is a responsible thing to
post up so many links - in my opinion, that is spreading disinformation - and ultimately, damaging to ufology. In my eyes, it makes you no different
to people like James Casbolt who have bourne the brunt of such accusations in recent times on his humble web site. I don't mean any offence, I think
JC has some thought-provoking stuff among the chaff in his collection. The point is, it's a mixed bag, and ufology sorely needs clarity and direction
as you well realise."

I absolutely agree with you, I'd also love to know what Isaac thinks, but I also agree with Isaac, that it's unimportant really. I also don't
think that spreading this information counts as spreading dis-information.
I'll explain.
What I find TRULY important, is that Isaac always links his information.
In fact, he's so organized and open with his resources that I think he might be my favorite member here at ATS.
Recently I undertook a similar task to the one Isaac is presenting here. You can read the thread here:
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Internos, the picture you reference has a report in this thread.
In the thread, I constantly faced the same question from ATS members, who were convinced I was trying to spread disinformation. I was not, and I
don't believe that Isaac is either.
What I've learned by reading many of Isaac's posts is that he's a researcher. He collects data, and passes it on. This sort of work, in my view,
is vital in the UFO community.
In my own thread, which by the way Isaac I hope you check out for research in your project here (and feel free to use ANY of it in any way you see
fit)... in that thread I provide links to the source for each picture, and also links to the ATS Threads that discuss/debate each image. Most entries
are images or video.
Anyway, my point is that if we all have such threads, with linking and sourcing and facts involved, we can all share our knowledge base. That way
when someone who hasn't seen a picture before gets curious, he/she can find the source data for it easily.
It isn't spreading dis-information, it's just spreading information, complete with sources (In Isaac's case, and certainly in my own). I feel that
the UFO community should have a common knowledge base about the known frauds too, and we should know who how and why, on the record.
Anyway, I just wanted to present another view. Well met!
