That's not necessary the case, and you should never base a claims accuracy on appearance alone. After all, how many people would view just the UFO topic in general as "outlandish"? Essentially your argument boils down to ones perception. Regardless of how outlandish something sounds you should never dismiss it for appearing so - you should do some investigation to determine the "possible" truth.
Remember, common sense is attained through time and experience. What is common sense to one person isn't necessarily the same as another.

I'm really not trying to create a feud by picking you apart, but I think this is wrong. Even if 99% of the information out there is false, that doesn't mean you dismiss 99% of the information. To me, that's common sense.

Fear mongering and disinfo? What are you talking about? If I've posted something that made you feel afraid that doesn't make me a fear monger. The truth is we are in troubled times, and exciting times, and I'm not going to hold back a conversation because some people are afraid. Intelligent conversation is the path to enlightenment, in my opinion.

Maybe that's your perspective, but definitely not mine and many others I'm sure. This forum has brought many things to my attention and allowed me to meet new people both locally and foreign.
When you say, "...with everyone putting in their best opinion to try and figure things out, and we never figure it out do we?" That depends on what you mean by, "figuring it out". This forum has multiple purposes and has never, ever, claimed to be the source of the end all be all truth. Anyone who knows anything knows things can change in a heart beat. On many levels, this forum has helped people, and I'm sure more people here would agree... after all, that's why we're here.
The objective for this forum is:
1)to provide important information and resources to enable individuals and communities to function optimally in what may be troubled times ahead.
2)to support aware individuals in networking and forming groups as they wish.
If you're here to just, "figure things out", maybe you're in the wrong place? Sure, we all like to participate in that discussion, but essentially the goal of this forum is dependable on the topic of the thread, thus making it impossible for it to either succeed or fail. Just my thoughts.
