. If Dan wants to come back and seriously address the more pressing questions folks have, I'm all ears. But he won't, because it's a lie, and at this point, there is nothing he can say that won't dig him deeper into the hole he made for himself with his orginal poorly done story.

I'd like to make a small edit to your post... Dan won't come back because this thread has been flooded by people making it there personal mission to debunk his accounts. They have grasped at every tiny thread of doubt and pulled it until they created a mess of yarn which most people have believed as true, but examining the ball of yarn created by the debunkers proves it false or irrelevant to the original story.

I wouldn't waste my time coming back to deal with these people either... hence the reason I have been so adamant in debunking the debunkers, what you all have been doing is counterproductive, and keeps us from getting down to the real truth and details of what happened here.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. Many have posted legitimate questions in regards to a very flimsy story. He has not answered anything about the actual encounter, instead deciding to take on those folks who question his physical fitness level, his ability to survive, etc. He would not address any of the hard questions involving the encouter itself. How many people asked where the creature was in regards to the bed? About the lighting? Conflicting strories about the creatures eye (exploding, versus hanging down its face)? He has answered none of those.

If this were me, I would first expect that there would be a healty dose of skepticism. Following that, I'd address all the hard questions, not get defensive about things not even related to the story.

Imo, he left because he doesn't have answers to fill in the holes in his story. None of this seems real. To bullet the issues with the story:

- Written like a science fiction encounter, not like a recounting of an experience. When a creature holds its palms upwards and then wobbles out, my science-fiction sensors start blaring.

- Lighting was never explained. How did a 6 foot creature flit around the room, and then just step up to the bed after a few minutes, just appearing out of nowhere? How did he see to fight the thing? How did he catch a knife thrown to him?

- All proof conveniently removed.

- Wife probably is not his wife. I cannot believe two people would spell a word so badly, the same way. I also find it hard to believe that his wife would use the terminology: "I will help hasten its demise." That sounds like Dan talking.

- Minor scratches do not mesh up with someone who attacked a creature over 100 times.

- 100 stab wounds was only 30 stab wounds, until later in the story. He couldn't tell the difference between 35 or so wounds, and over 100? Which was it? You'll notice like a fish story, his bravado and attack became more vicious, and that creature received a much greater stabbing, later in his post. i.e. he doesn't have his own facts straight.

- Why was the child never mentioned, ever? That would be a key point if my baby was in danger. Never mentioned it again.

- All the bits of a UFO encounter were present to make it more believable. He took photos of a ufo.. and produced them after the story of the attack (instead of when he took them, you'd think that alone would be a huge story to post on these boards), and his wife doodles mysterious stars afterwards, as a result of the encounter. As many elements were added as possible. To me, this screams out that someone is trying very hard to impress / make folks believe in this story.

- Leaps in logic in the story that make no sense. He pulls the creature down.. over his wife and baby? Then he grapples and wrestles with it on the bed? Where? Just like he forgot to mention his child again in any post, he also conveniently forgot that they were in bed with him. He, a 6 foot alien, a wife, and a baby and he is able to grapple and wrestle, and stab it in the face 5 times. Why were not facts presented about this? Exactly where it was, where he was, where his wife and child were, etc?

I understand some few people were being rude, but that was the minority. He had many supporters of this story, and many, like me, who just had questions about the story in general, and NONE of the points have been addressed by him, not even well before he fled his own thread.

There are imo, a whole slew of things that scream "hoax," and not one thing that points to this actually happening. If you are such a great supporter, why don't you try to address the points I brought up? These issues don't ring bells for you? You think I'm being unreasonable? If I were a professional investigator, a cop, a researcher, anything like that, I'd ask those sorts of questions, and expect answers, if they really expected me to buy this whopper of a fish tale. He has not answered anything of merit. If people don't believe it, it's his fault, not ours.

This thread has been completely shreaded to death. I mean just like "Frank", (Christopher Walken) in "Kings of New York" when he shot that guy dead in the parking garage, bitched to him. then shot him again a few times.

This thread was dead along time ago.

It's being left open I believe as an example of what not to post here.

We all saw someone else to the exact same thing here but with more proof of evidence and answered ALL the questions along the way and was banned and never warned.

This thread is a template. Follow this pattern and you will feel the axe coming down on you.

Just my thoughts.

Dan's story doesn't have holes in it. Holes implies theres something to make holes out of. The story is just one big hole and that's it.

I think you meant to say "shred" of doubt, not thread of doubt. You lost me with the ball of yarn ...

A debunker is not someone with a closed mind who never believes impossible ideas and joins the discussion with intent to destroy the OP.

I disagree, we are not being counter-productive. We simply want to know and have it known, if Dan is.

If Dan's tale is false, then he muddies the waters for those who have truthful accounts to tell, and readers will become jumbled as to what's true or false. Not everyone who reads a post on this forum is a member or frequent visitor, they may just pop in, read Dan's posts and leave affected by what they read believing it as true. This thread with ONLY Dan's posts has already been copied and pasted across the net.

His first post in this thread made this public immediately after he hit "post". Aside from what happened to him and his right to tell about it, he is responsible for his actions.

When you have a person or persons telling things about aliens that may not be true, it isn't long before they weave their way into all the alien phenomenom out there, and someone who may be a first time experiencer, looking for other stories may be mis-guided. Then you'll have these or others adding stuff to their own accounts, because it seems to fit and they read about it. An example: 'I woke up with a nosebleed this morning, must have been aliens'. Why do you think one would think a nosebleed = aliens? Because they've read aliens probe your sinuses. I'm not saying aliens do or don't do this to someone's nose, but it is typical for abductees to do this, and that was just one example.

It's about trying to keep the reports clean,and let's try to see which ones deserve a further look and which ones need to be tossed aside. Without debunkers, and having to depend on people who believe everything they read and hear, we'd be in a real mess. This balance is necessary.

Oxford is nowhere near scotland, it's south of england. Perhaps he jogged there, on one of his long runs.
Maybe there's another oxford in scotland?

[edit on 19-7-2008 by violet]

it's all about a user name that probably didn't start well.

Started another one to learn the ropes.

regressed back to old user name to start thread.

probably still around with the new username.

Would anyone come back with that username and this history and even try to post anywhere without getting flamed?

I will answer for anyone. Never!!!

Question is, who is DanTanna now?

Was DanTanna Minnesotawreckingcrew?

Dan Tanna is still posting.

His current obsession seems to be getting people to wrap up well when they are out in the cold. Look in the survival forum.

He's changed his signature from the 'humans 1 / aliens 10,000' or whatever it was. He seems to be carrying on as if this thread never happened.

He's also advising other people on posting suitable material

Why bother demeaning yourself with such stupidity? Just leave the forum alone if you don't like the topic.

I hope I've mis-read your post and that the quote about leaving the forum wasn't directed at me.

I've never found this thread anything less than engrossing and if Dan is currently 'advising other people on posting suitable material' well, he'd be the person to do it. Look how many people he has kept enthralled over more than a fortnight.

I had a couple of other points I wanted to raise, but this thread seems pretty much done now. I've concluded that Dan is a fantasist (having carefully read his other threads with the pictures of ufos) and I don't feel like kicking him on this subject any more.

I just hope the advice he is giving in the survival forum is good. If it isn't someone could seriously regret taking it.

edited to add: my conclusion is my own, I don't expect or ask anyone else to agree with me.

Are you sure you didn't just make up the story to show off that cool blade? lol J/K

I have woken up to both short and tall beings standing at the foot of my bed, but never a fish-man. I'd like to know more about the fish race.

Forthcoming? What did he come forward and answer? The fact that he has a survival kit? That he runs marathons? He certainly did not come up with info for the folks asking questions that actually matter, he conveniently ignored those. I also far as I can tell, was not banned, he voluntarily chose to not post here any longer, and is posting on the survival threads or something.

I find it hard to believe you read the entire thread, if you think he was forthcoming with anything useful.
