Hah, what a synchronicity...
I have been backing off of ATS a bit myself as yes the ego is outrageous, and discussion just doesn't seem to happen there anymore. New people are bullied as well as those who don't suck up to certain "experts" should they present evidence contrary to the their views...as demonstrated by My friend/Ufologist from France on a particular case involving a certain "UFO" picture. It's a jolly thread jam packed with: humor! intrigue! & and plenty of close mindedness by the "experts". Doing exactly what they whine and complain that the main media does to them, rules by decree despite apparent evidence of an "anomaly". Here's the original thread for those of you interested in seeing an interesting pic and some fairly decent analysis (and lay observations) done by quiet a few different people.
Original Photo Surprise Thread on ATS
Which all of a sudden got resurrected out of no where yesterday too I might add...
So everyone eventually says "take the pic to Jeff (Ritzman)!" the resident photographer/expert. He says "it's a bird" by decree even though we present evidence that is completely not consistent with it being a cute little tweet-tweet. Like the shutter speed being able to stop a humming bird's wings in flight but still this thing was "blurred". It has a cone shaped "shadow" or "blur" around it that is not consistent with flapping wings, and tends to only show up in the Cyan & Magenta color channels.
Photo Surprise 2 Thread! More ATS Madness!
So apparently all the stress wasn't good for Jeff and his book writting so he went on the age-old "I'm leaving" tiraid. I keep telling people, just don't say anything and stop posting awhile and save yourself the drama but no....
JRitzman's Departure thread at Drama-tastic ATS!
I have avenged you John Lear!
jk That was in response to
John's last interview with PC. I don't think they're dis-info agents, I just think they're way too into themselves...
