What abject nonsense.

You do love the use of hyperbole.

"Falling down in worship"
"To hell with their victims""
"Victim worship"
"Set upon be protective cheetahs in a zoo"

Lol.


Hyperbole.  &%%6 I am very impressed you are hanging onto my every word. I must be interestingly annoying to you in some way.  It is very effective. I use that  a lot.

I have absolutely nothing to say about you writing about me. yawn bed time.

Why would anyone who is sceptical of the abduction theory be upset to be classed as a sceptic?  I though many self-identified as sceptics anyway...?

It depends whether you are creating strawman arguments.

It isn’t difficult, identify a group (baddies) with nasty characters, create arguments about why those nasty characters are wrong (and nasty) and hence the Group (baddies), suggest that some reasonable and sensible people are part of the Group (baddies) and hey presto those people are nasty...

Not rocket science.

Are sceptics baddies then?  I thought that was the politically correct term, as used by the "baddies" themselves?

So, are we allowed to refer to sceptics and supporters or not?

There was discussion on the forum some time ago ... sorry I can't find the thread ... the result of which was a consensus to use the terminologies of "sceptic" and "supporter" in lieu of more offensive sobriquets.
I've always found the labelling puerile ... but there it is :)
