Violent encounter with an alien being, page 76

reply to post by Charlieslies88

Charlies, I did that. That is, I looked at some of the more important flaws and pointed them out (I believe on page 60). Dan has not responded as far as I can tell, to any logical questions regarding the incident, he has only responded to those who are using personal attacks or getting into debates over nonsensical issues. He hasn't addressed any of the holes in his story.

You can't assume just because someone "seems" legitimate, they are so. Just look at the neighbors of serial killers, who never thought they would do that. Posting on this board for a long while proves nothing. Maybe he was bored with the status quo and wanted to liven things up.

In short order, the issues I have, none of which were addressed:

1. Lighting. Makes no sense in how he portrays it. Shadow figure "flits" around the corners of the room (which btw, if you think about it, is laughable, since I have many things along my walls, like dressers, tv stand, etc.). Then after a few minutes.. steps up to the bed. Tadah! There he is. Where did he come from? No one turned a light on during the fight, but his wife threw a knife to him. Try staging a little fight in your room tonight. With a nightlight, with no light.. tell me if any of his story jives.

2. Where was the child? What size bed WAS this? He told the story as if it was on the other side, near his wife. But then pulled it down onto the bed. Over his wife and child? He was stabbing it on the face, on the bed, over his baby? You buy this? I don't buy this. And the child gets no more mention at all.

3. Fight scene. Lots of issues here. Things like: In the start of his post, he was fairly clear he stabbed it from 3 to 5 times in the face as he "wrestled" with it in bed (which makes no sense.. he went from stabbing in the face, to "wrestling" with it later, just another changed bit of his story), and another 30 times on the flood. Then it tried to make its escape. Later, he said he stabbed it over 100 times. Why the difference in #'s? That's a huge difference. Again, not addressed by Dan. Eye exploded, but later his "wife" said it was "hanging" down its face. Knife deeply embedded in shoulder, yet it then rolled onto its back. Etc. et al.

4. Dramatic flair. He does this a lot in the story. Which is something a storyteller does, and not how a witness would describe events. From "knowing" that the creature knew it was going to die, to it holding its palms upwards before "wobbling" out. Eyeballs exploding, hanging down its face, face in ribbons, etc. It's a bunch of (mostly violent) abjectives and flair to try to give the story impact. Something someone writing fiction does.

5. Wife isn't his wife. It's him. Aside from the identical writing styles, and his wife being far too descriptive about the violent bits, two people so badly hacking the word ordinary is no way cooincidental.

6. Injuries.. or lack thereof. He should have been much more battered and bruised. I used to spar all the time, and had some very solid bruises after each. He has next to nothing. And yet he beat it from 30 to 100+ times?

7. Multiple other issues include ufo pictures after the fact, the ridiculous clean up that removed all the "marmalade blood" from all fibers of the floor afterwards, and thus removing all evidence, Dan's tone in his posts, and posting in other subjects as if this never happened, the bragging, of which there is plenty, etc. Even his sig about humans, 1, aliens, 1000 or whatever it is, is him pounding his chest. It's just not realistic.

So ok, you feel free to believe him because of the fact that he has posted here awhile. I will choose not to believe him, because his story is far-fetched, full of logic issues, and has far too many unbelievable moments, and a serious amount of dramatic flair.
