Changed as req... but if you enjoy arguing about it then shouldn't you have checked the "interested in" vote ?

I used to very actively participate in a couple of online ufo discussion forums. Back in the late 90's. I was a serious debunker. My favorite topic back then was the cretin/hoaxer/fool named Jonathan Reed who claimed an alien killed his dog while on a hike then he kidnapped it and kept it alive in a freezer in his garage. Way too long to get into details but the story had sooo many holes in it, as if that's a surprise, that a 12 year old could have run rings around his twisted logic. It was an Art Bell exclusive at the time.

Another was a fairly popular online site that had various alleged pics and stories of ufo's. One in particular, I quickly realized, was very obviously a blurry B&W picture of Jupiter. I wrote the sites author to point this out and even sent him the original pic and within 24 hours it was replaced by a blurry pic of a light bulb.

after a couple of years I got tired of arguing with either those that truly believed but were blind to facts or those that maliciously tried to deceive for profit or fame. I left it all behind me despite having made some interesting aquaintances like Seth Shostak of SETI fame, a like-minded prof at Purdue and a couple of others in the ufo field.

I rarely think much about it nowadays except when I read an article like the link above.

If anyone's interested in the Reed story... here it is in great detail...
