Have you ever thought of finding a board out there solely for abductees. I mean, clearly ATS isnt offering what YOU want.

Have you ever thought that my threads are not for you?

Have you ever thought of including respect, morality, and dignity in your responses?

Oh but it IS TOLERATED here! Oh yes! I have seen an abductee abused mercilessly here. I sent 30 complaints about it and the abusers/skeptics hardly got a slap with a wet bus ticket.
Yes abusing abductees is fair game here. I have seen it with my own eyes. It is pitiful.

Well I don't know what to tell you. I don't believe for a second, that the staff would advocate the abuse of an ATS member. If you didn't get the desired results from sending in the complaints...perhaps you need to go to a SuperMod instead.

I have never been, nor have I ever witnessed, Abuse being tolearated on ATS. Perhaps I'm hanging out in the wrong threads...

Chances are that although in your mind it was merciless abuse, it did not violate ATS Terms.

As long as criticisms are not personal attacks, swearing, releasing information, or anything like this you are free to state your opinion on the validity of an individual and/or their claim.

I have a thread going called :
» ATS Skunk Works » Why do abductees have to educate skeptics?

So is this like an advertisment thread?

Abductees do not mind people asking questions or taking an interest but as for debating if aliens are real or if we infact are insane, that has to stop. None of the threads can get anywhere due to this ignorant behavior that is rife here amongst disbelievers.

So you basically want a campfire thread where you can all join hands and sing kumbah? I mean why post your thoughts if you are unable or unwilling to defend claims that can border from interesting and believable to lets face it door number 3

For a start, NO ABDUCTEE IS INTERESTED IN SHOWING ANYONE PROOF. I want people to understand that, We don't care who believes us or not .

Then why post? He I invented electricity but don't ask me to prove it. Would you accept this on face value?

Rather than try an educate etc. you seem to have adopted this They are asking hard questions, so Im going to put up a shell around myself.

This type of mentality has done the UFo and abduction community NO good at all and simply reinforces the sterotypes many have worked hard to elimitate about said community.

Whenever you make a post, or even a new thread, you should be prepared, nay expecting, someone to disagree with you. In fact, as you hit the Post Reply button you should be eagerly awaiting the counter argument.

Why? Because this is a place of discussion NOT a place of agreement.

If you don't want to hear someone who disagrees with you then why are you even wasting our time with your words? Just start your own blog so that we can more easily ignore you.

Abduction threads are NOT FOR PEOPLE who don't believe in aliens.

Sorry you are wrong here and are trying to fit ATS into your ill-conceived notions about what an alternative community is.

ATS is NOT FOR PEOPLE who believe in something (anything) so unquestionably that they will refuse to even entertain the possibility of other explanations.

In fact, I think that line above should be codified into some rule or catchphrase. Like, oh, I don't know "Deny Ignorance" or something.

The issue of unquestioned belief is a huge sticking-point in conversations about religion, global warming, and abductions among other. I have seen people in all of those topics get upset simply because someone had the gall to disagree with them.

If what someone hopes to generate is approval and acceptance from a post on ATS, then all they really want is the equivalent of a place to get some ego porn. The presence of people with this mindset are not a benefit to a community which embraces NOT consolation but exploration as a key tenet.
