I am sorry to say that I will no longer be taking part in the forums, I have enjoyed my time at Alien-UFOs, and I am grateful for the friendships I have made, and the knowledge and discoveries we have shared together.

You all have my very best wishes, and I hope you all see the truth for what it really is, and not viewpoint of other people.

Chris.

Aww shame to see you go Chris. I hope you have a good time, with whatever you choose to do in life

*waves*

Chris, I am very sad to hear this and very sorry you feel you have to leave. Please accept my sincere best for you and your family.

Mary

Take care...

Lahitriot. (Hebrew for-until I see you again)

aahh nooooooo :cry:

I wish you and your's well wherever you may wonder Apache...just remember that there are many homes, not the least of which is in the heart of a friend. So a farewell poem for you, my friend.

Reluctance

OUT through the fields and the woods
And over the walls I have wended;
I have climbed the hills of view
And looked at the world, and descended;
I have come by the highway home,
And lo, it is ended.

The leaves are all dead on the ground,
Save those that the oak is keeping
To ravel them one by one
And let them go scraping and creeping
Out over the crusted snow,
When others are sleeping.

And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
No longer blown hither and thither;
The last lone aster is gone;
The flowers of the witch-hazel wither;
The heart is still aching to seek,
But the feet question 'Whither?'

Ah, when to the heart of man
Was it ever less than a treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?

Please reconsider, Chris. We all value you very much here.

I too am sorry Chris has decided to leave the forum, but I can fully understand why he felt he needed to.

It is a sad time and believe it or not he is not at all happy with having to make this decision as he thought he had made a lot of friends here. It gave him an interest and what he thought were friends to talk to. :mad:

No way.... that sucks man!!!! i consider Apache/Chris a good pal! and i think its a real shame what has happened! though i dont know what has happened i think i can guess. some people are a joke arent they! because their head is filled with so much s##t, they tend to lose grip on what is really going on, and they just debunk and proper slate anything you say! im just awaiting the day when these people are shown the truth!

cheers to Chris! :cheers:

Well, i hope that one day he might change his mind as he will be greatly missed!

There's a whole heap of confusion over what or why he decided this Vonnie - If it's personal then we'll understand why he has chosen not to be clear about it - but we've tried figuring it out and all we can think of is there's one thread where maybe he thought the 'flak' was being aimed at him when in fact it was someone else entirely - I've said nothing so far because I'm actually still trying to work out whether to respect his wishes to leave or whether he has left due to a misunderstanding??????? Any light shed on the matter would be most welcome...

Ben

Ben its personal in as much as he no longer wanted to take the abuse he was receiving via email from someone on this forum. Although they have been very clever in covering their tracks. As for 'flak' being aimed at him i wouldn't know about that as he won't talk about it and as I believe this particular thread was in a staff forum I don't have access to it, so could not comment on it.

Vonnie wait!!! Two things have to be said - One, Dingo and I and a few others too have been beavering away behind the scenes trying to figure out if it may have been a thread here which caused him grief - we found one which we readily identified as a potential source of a huge misunderstanding - If Apache could look at the thread again he'll see what we mean - No-one ABSOLUTELY NO-ONE was talking about him! It was just one of those things where the person actually being named wasn't spoken of because Tutu, Kelly and I were engaged in a blazing row with someone else and WE KNEW who we were talking about - please I urge Apache to look again at that thread.

As for abusive e-mails Vonnie, I won't pull any punches - if he's been getting them from here then gimme the addy and I'll track the culprit down - quite simply it shouldn't be happening and I'm appalled.

Rest assured that Dingo and I will be working on it - Chris is one of the most valued members of this community!

Ben

Ben I have pm'd you

Vonnie

It seems that many members here have left or complained about receiving 'abusive emails'...who could be doing such a thing and why? :confused:

If someone's doing that they need to be identified and banned!!!!

Vonnie, if this has anything to do with the staff forum, please tell Chris it was a misunderstanding! None of us (research dept.) have ever thought anything bad about him at all!

Whatever this is about it can be fixed!

you're right Kelly...I know for certain that neither you, nor Ben nor I have ever said a harsh word to Apache...he's one of the best :cry:

Who the hell would send hateful emails to someone like Apache?
He's, like, right up there with Mary for the "All time most sweet, gentle souls of the century" award.

Whoever it is, needs to not just be banned, but reported to their ISP, IMO.

There must be a way of tracking this person! hope we get quickly, so no one else gets hurt, Apache one is "the dude", i dont understand why anyone would send him hateful emails.! lets send out the troops! :devil:

Amen Mr.T, let a crusty ole hateful sot like me at this character sending abusive emails, I'll turn him or her into a puddle of tears and sorrow...

Chris - well get to the bottom of it mate. Hope to see you soon.

Ben
