And there is no further need to speak of the departed, as a veil of paper conceals the details of our past memories. ---

A newbie with an alien-friendly moniker has just joined the board and is posting in the slow-moving but still alive “What are UFOs?” GD topic to cheerlead for the side that at least some UFOs represent actual aliens actually visiting. So far polite and sane and gently JAQing. Will they spin off into wacko-space, be a tiresome one-trick pony, or be a deent poster with some odd beliefs? Only time will tell. But the modloop might want to add this to their watchlist. ---

Not quite. They don’t believe it’s aliens; they believe it’s another intelligent species from this planet. ---

Holy frijoles! I didn’t scroll up far enough and missed their introduction post! Ok. Full bore gullible believer in wacko theory(ies). Will be entertaining for awhile. The fact they misspelled their own username is a … sad … omen. ---

Well, our new friend is having a bang-up time rapid-fire deflecting arguments from a dozen regulars. At this rate he’ll have 100 posts by tomorrow. Still civil, sounds like a True Believer to me. With no credulous filter. I’m out of the ET threads for awhile. Y’all have fun. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > or be a deent poster with some odd beliefs? Could the PowersThatBe provide a definition of what constitutes a deent poster. It might be something to aspire to, PT being rather banged up and all of late. 🙃 The odd beliefs coming with the territory, of course. ---
