| trying to accomplish here. Be forewarned. This is a | | | | sore spot for awhile but as of late it is now becoming |
| rant and I feel it needs to be said. I doubt it will do any | | | | apparent as to why that is. Key players in a role of |
| good. | | | | self-made authority I think are prone to abusing those |
| In a previous article I stated that many of the key | | | | that can be to keep their authority status and the |
| players in Ufology have begun to ditch it for a broader | | | | imaginary power it seems to bring them. It is all a |
| lens to look at it through as well as just to keep their | | | | house of cards and a wind is picking up only it is not |
| sanity or what little is left of it, intact. I left out another | | | | coming from the swelled headed blowhards in Ufology |
| major reason. At least in my view as a "little guy" in | | | | but those, like myself, the little guy, who are sick of the |
| this field. Ufology has become a dumping ground of | | | | circus freak kneejerk reactions of these self |
| finger pointing snarky iconoclasts hell bent to destroy | | | | proclaimed experts in the field who don't seem to |
| their perceived opposition and in some cases it seems | | | | actually want to study it but somehow get rich off of it |
| that a fictitious opposition was manufactured just for | | | | by cornering some little make-believe nugget or aspect |
| the sake of conflict. Drama. To get headlines perhaps? | | | | of it. |
| To get attention good or bad at all costs? This is | | | | I don't know why these folks are acting in this bizarre |
| celebrity or the wanton drive and obsession for it and | | | | fashion or what their motivation could be other than |
| it really has no place whatsoever in Ufology or any | | | | the sad belief that there is money and power in it. It's |
| other field of investigation. | | | | even more of a mystery it seems than the |
| Since when did phenomena take a back seat to the | | | | Paranormal Realm itself. To me anyway. A real head |
| individuals studying it? What happened to the awe of | | | | scratcher. Maybe they think there is fortune to be |
| the subject matter? Has society become so petty and | | | | made in it. Maybe they think they can make a living at |
| egocentric that it finds the figures investigating the | | | | it. That's not going to happen unless you are fond of |
| unknowable more fascinating than the topic of | | | | "living in a van down by the river". |
| investigation itself? It would appear to be so. And how | | | | I can think of two or three fairly successful individuals |
| sad it is that not only has Ufology's prominent figures | | | | that have eked out some sort of income in Ufology |
