And there is no further need to speak of the departed, as a veil of paper conceals the details of our past memories.
You mean Austin.
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.
Intraterrestrials?
What do they mean, “another?”
I’m not convinced there’s a solitary one.
Possibly so. As the National Park Service once noted (and Yogi exemplifies), there’s significant overlap between the smartest bears and dumbest people
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.
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.
Obviously a typo. He meant a deet poster. Oily, smelly, and attracts bloodsuckers.
Hadn’t thought of that permutation.
At one distant time, for my sins, I sold DEET ( N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide) by the tonne as an ingredient in insecticides.
And our newbie with an alien-friendly moniker has revealed it’s species, Homo Otariinae.
I swear we fairly recently had another newbie that made these same arguments about UFOs, so my quatloos are on sock.
Y’know y’all can just write Cryptoterestrial, right?
Not especially recently, but there was AlienBabble
Tried to google “expression - on sock”. No luck.
On hold?
my quatloos are on (Cryptoterestrial being a) sock
He’s betting the new poster is a sock.
BTW: I don’t think this one is. Thus far a one issue poster whose issue is fringe, but I don’t think they’re troll or sock.
Has he mentioned or linked to Forteans yet?
Ugh. Thanks. I should’ve pieced that together.
