I agree with you that the historical prevalence of references to Reptilians and the like makes it difficult to dismiss the idea entirely.
Assuming that there is some truth to this, I am able to "buy into it" to the extent that evil, reptilian behaviours could be the result of the
Reptilian Complex (R-Complex).
I am no expert on this, but if you research this on the 'Net, it refers to a researcher's theory that there is a part of the brain that reptiles and
mammals have in common. It controls more primitive behaviours such as fight-or-flight, and anger/rage. This doesn't account for the reported
physical manifestations and abilities of Reptilians such as shapeshifting, but to some extent provides me with some explanation for treacherous
behaviours that I have witnessed.
While I can't go so far as to say that I outright believe in these beings, I'd like to think that I'm open-minded enough not to rule out the
possibility yet.
As for the negative feedback to which you refer, it comes as no surprise given how blinding intolerance can be. The mere admission that I am sitting
on the fence on this topic will likely be enough to subject me to some degree of criticism and labeling.
