I'm also not interested in a large number of people inferring I believe the opposite and then acting like I'm "lying" or "did an about face" on my opinion should I ever change my mind and decide I wish to discuss it.

People are really bad about making unfounded inferences no matter how carefully you talk about a thing and then hanging their baggage on you over what they imagined you believe when you never said anything about what you believe.

Government reports about unidentified aerial phenomena aren't motivated by a belief in aliens. Me reminding people of that fact is not motivated by a belief that "aliens don't exist."

Maybe "UFO" will stop getting used in titles and the new term UAP will get popular and these conversations will generally improve.

After I left my comment, the title was changed. That's a good thing and makes my reminder less pertinent. Maybe I will just stop leaving them entirely.
