Skeptics and rednecks should not have free reign to destroy threads. It is not their God given right to kick a thread untill it's not breathing. There is far too much of this here and it needs to be stopped.
Yes it is. It is one that sticks both ways as many people i have encountered here on ATS who claim these experiences are not interested in the many other explanations for Alien Abduction Experiences. It is quite obvious from your post that you are uninterested in any other viewpoint. I wonder why you are on a PUBLIC forum then. As ATS is not an Abductees only forum. I for one have no desire to see it become one, in any form. I am generally interested in this topic and like discussing this with others.

A willingness to listen to other viewpoints is where the sticking point is on abductee threads.
I agree whole heartedly with you here. No one wants to be labled mentally ill because of a belief inspired by a profound personal experiences.
Thats my point. For lifetime abductees we have no wish to listen to someone tell us aliens aren't real or that we are psycho or sctizo.
From my interest in this phenomena, there is very little but personal testimony when it comes to Alien Abduction Experiences. If you yourself have any other evidence to offer on threads, I am sure the skeptics would dissappear very quickly, and you would have no need for an Abductees only forum.
The alternative viewpoint is that we are all wrong and have no proof.
I disagree. I believe that many, many people come to ATS in search of explanations for experiences that they cannot explain. The opportunity to read and see many different opinions, experiences, and beliefs in relation to these unexplained experiences, that some people attribute to ET's, should not be denied or censored.
That is why an abductee thread does not need opposing viewpoints. That is what I have been trying to get across.
You are annonymous to people here. There are no medal ceremonies here. People here have seen many, many, many, many, many posts, threads, claims before.
Why does no-one understand the guts it takes to post an abductee experience??
From my experience, many people do want to prove their story. Many want to prove their experinces was real. Many also believe that they have recieved something important to share which requires them to discuss and convince others that what they experienced was real. I think your generalisationof all abductees is massive and maybe a result of your own personal feelings.
Why does no one understand that we have no interest in proving anything to anyone???
I have no doubt that you and others have had an experience. You attribute ET's as the cause of this exprience.
Why does no-one understand we have no need to hear someone tell us that aliens don't exist when we have been through such trauma at their hands??
Why is this all so hard for non abductees to understand????

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