- What is the import of this statement? That you don't give a damn that

- reason I bothered to mention the fact. The point of my statement
- regarding my personal and professional obligations, which you would

- personal and professional qualifications of anyone who dares to
- question the validity of your precious ET theories, was that my failure
- to respond to Brian's posts was not due to cowardice, dishonesty and
- stupidity as Brian had stated to the ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD, but that it
- was due to the fact that I have a busy professional and personal life
- and I do not have time to respond to every psychotic rant, or even to
- read them all.

- Typical Saucer Zealot Logic: Because I ask hard questions about Saucer
- Theory, and because I am a struggling member of a noble profession the
- "Dr." doesn't understand and therefore doesn't like, he assumes I am
- allied with all his favorite villains. You know NOTHING about my life
- or my law practice. You have never met any of the 200 people whose
- lives I saved when I was with the Coast Guard. You know nothing of the
- years I spent enforcing environmental, fisheries, and boating safety
- regulation, the military exercises in the North Atlantic in every kind
- of weather, the hundreds of times I placed my life in peril to save
- someone else.
-
- You know nothing about my law practice or the practice of law,
- generally. Most of my clients are small businessmen who are themselves
- just barely keeping their operations afloat. When they deal with big
- multi-national corporations like Shell Oil, they tend to get beat up
- pretty badly. I try to help them negotiate a better deal-- I try to
- level the playing field for them. I am trying to do more admiralty and
- environmental work right now. The clients I most actively seek are
- fishermen who are trying to convert their operations to aquaculture
- because they know the wild fish stocks are badly depleted and getting
- worse. They face a myriad of federal, state and local government
- regulation and sometimes downright hostility from assholes who are
- afraid that an active fisheries operation just offshore will spoil
- their view from their summer cottages. I try to help recreational
- boaters who have been injured in accidents recover from the insurance
- company of the guy who injured them. I try to help injured seaman
- recover lost wages and medical expenses from the greedy shipping
- companies who would otherwise leave them stranded.
-
- If you knew any of these things you wouldn't care, because in Saucer
- Zealot Logic the only noble and decent human activity possible in late
- Twentieth Century America is exposing imagined conspiracies of
- government officials to cover up the "truth" about the alien spacecraft
- you all just KNOW are visiting the Earth on a regular basis.
-
- >Good day to you
-
- A very strange way to close a message that is a libel on myself and my
- profession. I shall close my message in a more appropriate fashion:
-
- GO TO HELL, YOU RAVING SAUCER PSYCHO
