I'm completely comfortable dismissing thousands of UFO sightings if the subject is aliens..because even if there were aliens they're not likely to be the explanation for very many of those ufo sightings.
Do you have any favorites? I'll take one credible alien craft over mountains of ufo accounts. Quality, not quantity. "Too much" bad evidence is still bad evidence.

Ok, yeah I'm good. That's enough. I don't know why I bothered. Tiberius was right.
At least Khemikal made an attempt at a rational conversation while maintaining his position. Which was all I was hoping for.
We really are all just a bunch of angry atheist dicks waiting around to pounce on someone who has a differing point of view. Never mind that I was polite and that I made every effort to clarify my position without insult.
Succ,
I'm sorry I posted a thread that was all about me in the Introduction forum, I thought that it would be polite to do so and I thought that was the exact point of that particular forum. I would've talked about you, but I just don't know a whole lot about your life.
I'm sorry that I find levity in polls. They amuse me and they're always just meant to be fun and pointless, as I THOUGHT anyone could clearly see.
I'm sorry I've been using this site to apparently "seek attention" rather than have interesting conversations. As you can see, it's difficult to even get one off the ground unless it's a circle jerk and the topic is one in which we all agree.
I hope you can forgive me Succ. I'll do my best to return to glib responses and making people feel stupid. Sadly, I am every bit as guilty as you on this offense.
Have a good circle jerk. I would have enjoyed a quality debate on the topic, but as it is now, I just don't care anymore.
Yeah I really don't get why some people got so angry and mean about your opinion on aliens having visited earth lol. I definitely don't think there's ever been aliens here or that there ever will be... but the last thing to cross my mind as I read your post was to feel any sense of anger towards you. People are special.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
