I'm replying to this unjust message of yours not only as the
moderator, but as the person you addressed it to.  Another
moderator may be contacting you as well.
First, nowhere in the above quote is there any mention of little
green men, or aliens. ...And who are the true believers you are
referring to?  What do you mean by the term, "true believers"?
...And what insults to skeptics are you talking about?  Show me
the particular message you are referring to, so I can address
the issue.
...And in the military, the term for a UFO is "bogey." You have
not applied your message to any thing that was said or discussed.
Instead, you chose to insult the entire UFO community at large.
I remember you from last November, when you attacked another user
for his spelling. You haven't changed a bit.
You have directly insulted me and my friends. You have made an
ad hominem attack--a provocation that will not go unrewarded.
Therefore, this is your second and final warning.
I don't know what Roger, my co-moderator has in store for you,
but if I see another message like this one--put forth as a
deliberate attack on ANYONE, you are out of here for a looong time.
