I think he was in open carriage, actually. But never mind...

We need a second Godwin's law... if a Usenet thread goes on long enough, the probability that a self-styled, sober skeptic who is defending a comforting or official story resorts to mentioning "Area 51" or aliens as a means of ad hominem ridicule rises to one.

He who does so, appears to have been backed into a corner, and therefore loses credibility.

Your other typical fallacy is the old censorious "don't say this because makes us look bad."

Who are "we"? Look bad to whom?

I'm more than a few years out of high school. Do you think I give a fly how I "look"?

Last I looked, I was not yet the PR shill for any party, so I am still allowed to say what I think, not what you think looks good. Thanks.
