A Pebble in the Shoe of the UFO Subculture.
Greetings. During the course of interacting with the public, or while discussing the UFO topic at length, comments can be made that are completely out of bounds and uncalled for. It is a rare occurrence, but sadly, it does happen.
On the 18th of September, I had to make the unfortunate decision to remove someone from my blog platform on Facebook. The reason for the decision? A comment was made that was directed at my wife. A comment that should never have been made. A comment that had nothing to do with the conversation going on at the time. I took a screenshot of the offending comment, in case I have to use it at some point in the future, but the offending person, Mr. Wil Wakely, who is associated with the San Diego chapter of MUFON, was removed from my blog platform on Facebook. I ended up writing up a short post about the removal of Mr. Wakely, and it reads as follows:
"Greetings. I encourage all my readers to contribute to the discussions about the various blogs that are posted on this platform. The exchange of ideas, opinions, and thoughts is absolutely essential to the effort to find answers to the unknown.
Occasionally I come across personal and less than judicious comments, which I do not tolerate. Mr. Wil Wakely left a comment on today's blog posting which was personal and completely out of bounds, a comment having to do with my wife Venus Renee Pullin, the President of the San Antonio Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. He has been permanently removed from this platform.
Despite this unfortunate turn of events, I sincerely appreciate all the contributions my readers offer to this platform, your thoughts are a constant source of inspiration. Thank you."
It was a sad and unfortunate situation, but the decision to remove Mr. Wakely was necessary and the only course of action that could be undertaken. Mr. Wakely has continued to write about the incident in question, professing his innocence, on the MUFON San Diego Facebook page, and on one of his three, count them three, personal Facebook accounts. His accounting of the events in question are inaccurate and misleading, but that is to be expected. What is most unfortunate is the fact that I enjoyed interacting with Mr. Wakely, and while I did not always agree with his points of view, I almost always found them reasonable and informed. I sincerely hope he continues searching for answers to the UFO enigma.
Having said all that, I have zero tolerance for such behavior. Period.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
