hahaha believe me, for an English person his accent doesn't sound intelligent at all. In fact, I would say that's one of this plus points, he sounds like a 'typical working class' person.

David Icke is known in the UK as the guy who pronounced on national television that he was the son of god.
He was written off as a nutjob right there and has only compounded that opinion with his reptilian theories.

How does it feel to have just advertised for David Icke?
He clearly doesn't mind the negative attention, maybe he goes out of his way to generate it - so how nice of you to give it to him.
You just fed a troll who needed no feeding.

What evidence? Evidence regarding what? The only evidence provided in the OP was a link to an article MMN disagreed with and the highlighting of the fact that Icke charges for his books and DVDs.

From this MMN concludes that Icke is damaging Ufology.
You have to admit that is a weak assertion.

Firstly, he's not a ufologist and I dispute that most people define him as such so how can he damage Ufology's reputation?
Originally posted by MarrsAttax
Secondly, the OP presupposes Ufology has a reputation to be damaged which is very arguable.

Fourthly, show me a Ufologist or Conspiracy Theorist who doesn't charge for their work. The idea that charging money for books is sufficient proof that one is a conman is fallacious.
The background is this. The man involved, called Royal Adams from Missouri, incorporated David’s books and company in his own name with David completely excluded. This was without David’s permission – of course.
Imagine that. You have worked for 16 years against all the odds, and in the face of enormous abuse and ridicule, to create cutting edge material to alert people to their plight and some guy just puts it all under his own name and tells you he is in control of everything. Gutted is not the word.
David researched and wrote the books; arranged for them to be designed, proof-read and indexed; arranged for the art work and the production of the disk for printing; and paid for all these things to be done.
But when he took steps to have his life’s work returned to his control Adams stopped him getting any income from the sales of his OWN books. Adams said that he would only consider restoring the income - David and his family’s livelihood - if David signed over rights to all his future works to him.
Adams also demanded $100,000 for David to regain control of his own books – a sum that could have destroyed everything David had spent 16 years creating. Adams also refused numerous requests to make the full accounts of the company available so David could see what he was dealing with.
It gave David only two choices: To accept this extraordinary injustice or take legal action to recover control of what was his and restore the income on which his entire work depends to survive and continue, and to secure the livelihood on which his family depend.
In simple terms, the system means that even if someone does something illegal it costs you enormous amounts of money in lawyers fees to put it right and recover what was yours in the first place.
David has won an interim order stopping Adams selling his books and keeping the money, which will now be held in an independent account pending the legal outcome. The judge ordered the accounts and print disks to be handed over to David.
It was when the judge signed this order that the above email was sent to David’s office and Adams launched a ‘Hate Icke’ website. In this it is said that David’s books are ‘overpriced’ when we have emails in which David is the one stopping Adams pricing the books too high. David is also supposed to be a ‘greedy bastard’ when he lives in a small flat with one bedroom and Adams has a million dollar house.
The point is that David’s efforts to regain control of his own books, and therefore keep them in circulation, is costing a fortune in legal fees and we are asking for help in meeting these costs (see below). If we don’t get this help then David’s work is in serious danger of disappearing within weeks – which is what the above email says is the whole idea.
