Does that not show part of the problem with the threads. Its obvious that it splits the members. Some like them, some dont and so on. Then we have to deal with it.

Thats the reason why we wonder about the threads, which is all the staff have done. None have been closed, unless its gotten out of hand.

I hope you dont mind me offering my opinion on them, which is all I,m doing.

Really why does it matter he's not offending anybody.Personally i don't read any of it,thats why its in the lounge.I think reading about how good tunze skimmers are boring,somebody out there might like reading about it.We all have choices what to read as long as nobody gets hurt.

im no mod, but if i might be so bold, I suggest a compromise. Russel, How about you make one thread for your conspiracies. period. just one, and instead of making a new thread for. every. single. new. theory. you. ever. come. accross. on. the. internet, just stick em all into one thread. no, not one for aliens, one for war, one for politics etc etc etc, just one for all of them. period.

people who are interested can check it regularly, people who dont care, dont have to see each new one every single day. i at least would be happy enough with that. what do you guys think?

As I,m posting here also, , my opinion is that he can post all the threads he wishes in the lounge, as long as they dont cross Canreef posting rules.

Of course when members express their agreement and dis-agremment with such, then the staff posts their views or Canreefs, whichever is needed.

No one hates reading conspiracy theories. You guys need to stop twisting words; I click the back button if it doesn't interest me but I'm left wondering why the hell the Lounge is DOMINATED by alien hocus pocus.

I actually thought Brad (reef_raf) was being serious when he said "I thought we were going to limit it to one per day."

This board doesn't censor petty things but you can tell that this starting to become a nuisance. If anything, you guys don't even realize that most people have been quietly polite about it for the last what? 3 months?

My god.

I was serious! Really, we don't want to censor these things, but as mentioned, it's starting to look like alien spam dominating the lounge.

Yeah, i can do one a day no problem

Here is one for today: (As per Justin's request i kept it in the same thread )

BTW a had never offered my own opinion on any of the theories, all i had said was, that it was interesting to read.
Do NOT read if this is of no interest to you LOL.

UFO Disclosure

Once again UFOs are being featured on the Larry King Live show. On Friday night January 9, 2007 he hosted Shirley MacLaine and several of the pilots and witnesses who would be appearing the following Monday at the National Press Club conference in Washington DC about UFO disclosure. The witnesses on Larry King were impressive, with the sole skeptic appearing on the show weakly complaining that they were all mistaken.

The following Monday November 12, 2007 at the Press Club the assault on the cover-up continued. Those present included former Governor of Arizona Fife Symington, producer James Fox, Colonel Charles Halt of the USAF, Sergeant Jim Penniston of the USAF, Nick Pope from the UK Ministry of Defense, Shirley MacLaine, FAA Division Chief from the CIA John Callahan, Chilean Air Force pilot Rodrigo Bravo, Iranian fighter pilot Parviz Jafari, and France Air Force captain Jean-Charles Duboc. All of whom, per the skeptic on Larry King, are "mistaken".

Former Pilots and Officials Call for New U.S. UFO Probe
November 12, 2007
http://www.reuters.com/article/topNe...0071112?rpc=24
An international panel of two dozen former pilots and government officials called on the U.S. government to reopen its generation-old UFO investigation as a matter of safety and security given continuing reports about flying discs, glowing spheres and other strange sightings. The panelists from seven countries, including former senior military officers, said they had each seen a UFO or conducted an official investigation into UFO phenomena.

FAA Blames UFO Report on Weird Weather

Federal officials say it was probably just some weird weather phenomenon.
In the Sky! A Bird? A Plane? A UFO?

January 1, 2007
http://www.chicagotribune.com/
A flying saucerlike object hovered low over O'Hare International Airport for several minutes before bolting through thick clouds with such intense energy that it left an eerie hole in overcast skies, said some United Airlines employees who observed the phenomenon. Officials at United professed no knowledge of the Nov. 7 event - which was reported to the airline by as many as a dozen of its own workers - when the Tribune started asking questions recently.

Sounds like a good idea to me to keep it to one thread for who evers interested in reading it all. Just when you get these conspiracy theories every day then it starts to be 4 a day and he just posts them and doesn't even say anything in his posts then they end up just looking like spam more than anything. If you want to believe in everything you've ever heard and share it with everyone than cool thats up to you but at least say something about your posts and try to keep them to a couple threads not tons of new ones every time cause it ends up being half the lounge is a conspiracy. Don't get me wrong doesn't bug me that much more just confuses me as to why but hey it made for a good laugh and I think russel got one too so no harm done lol
