Sorry Han, it's a done deal you are speculating to things so far fetched it's absurd. They found some slides of a child mummy, they devised a scheme and carried it out to defraud the public and pocket a bunch of money. You can try to make a very weak case that anything other than that happened, but the events as they played out pretty much say, that's not the case.
At least we agree that its a done deal.
Its not my fault you can't seem to grasp that even "experts" make mistakes, in fact mistakes are an essential part of learning.
If its such an open and shut case of fraud where are the legal proceedings????????
If you look at who has put their name to what: for example Mr Maussan has a ratification from "The Forensic Medicine Institute" are you qualified to argue with them? I am not.
If you use the logic that says I can't do it so no one can, then that is a mistake.
My feeling is the scam victims include the "experts" and what they actually seem to have said is "based on what we see in the slides"............ Which is very different from saying we have empirical evidence.
Whoever is behind this is obviously either extremely skilled or extremely lucky because: the fact that the Mesa Verde Mummy was returned before the widespread use of digital cameras and the internet, means that finding another existing photo (outside the museum archive*) will be extremely difficult and costly, add to that only a certain pool of the population will even try to look because most of them have not even heard of the Roswell slides..........
Personally I think that Jaime Maussans track record excludes him as a candidate as a master hoaxer, this one is a proper job, unlike the "DR" Reed case, the Metapec creature or his usual low end, bargain basement antics.
I have tried my best to empathise with those that actually spent money in relation to seeing the slides, but I am left thinking you gave Jaime Maussan and co X amount of dollars to see two POORLY TAKEN SLIDES OF AN ALIEN and listen to "experts" wax lyrical.
I would have told you that it was a waste of time free of charge.
Actually when I think about it I only know of two people that definitely either attended or steamed the event, and neither of them seem as annoyed as you..................
I think our time would be better spent trying to ensure that this does not tarnish the entire field, rather than arguing amongst ourselves.
Maybe try to think about how you would try to explain, why you are so annoyed to someone that has no interest in the paranormal.
Because you would have to tell them about all of the deception that goes on on a daily basis, and about all the known hoaxes that are still treated as "real" by certain parties.
In a nutshell I often make the mistake of being offended on other people behalf's, but it rarely happens the other way around....
As I said previously I think Dolan's treatment of you was wrong, but if you displayed the same attitude to him, that you have in our exchanges on this forum, I am starting to question that.
By way of an olive branch, is there a particular case or subject that you are interested in? (other than the effing slides) there are loads of brilliant threads on the forum, or you are I could start a new one?
Best wishes.
*Which seems reluctant to clarify the matter because of issues around reinterment and respect.
