The Di Dio Syndrome.

Greetings. The effort to civilly exchange ideas and opinions is an essential aspect of the process of discovery. Being able to openly converse about important issues and unknowns can be a rewarding experience, but alas....

Occasionally, I come across people who are very willing to comment, but are just as unwilling, or are unable, to offer their own points of view or opinions. As a result of their lack of reasonable follow-through, they contribute absolutely nothing to the conversations. I recently wrote up a short blog posting on my Facebook platform which focused on the statements made by Luis Elizondo. The post garnered quite a number of insightful and thoughtful comments, which is the norm since my readers are intelligent and approach the issues at hand in a serious manner. Mr. Rick Di Dio, a resident of Alvin, Texas, decided to embrace a different course of action, making nonsensical comments about the blog without putting in his own "two cents." 

When I asked him to elaborate on his own opinions, to answer the very same question he asked me, he laughed and made reference to his "girlfriend going first." I have no words for that, but it is not uncommon nowadays. Some people are willing to criticize others' opinions, but they are unwilling to make their own feelings known. Perhaps they are incapable of expressing themselves in a productive way. Perhaps they simply don't have the balls for it, or their epidermis is too thin. I have no idea, but it does not help the situation, not at all. 

Mr. Di Dio has not contributed any writings on the UFO problem, so I will not make any uninformed statements about his potential opinions or thoughts, but it does speak volumes about his approach. Mr. Di Dio is willing to criticize others, but doesn't stick his neck out in any way. The Di Dio Syndrome, as it is known as of this writing, is defined as when an individual criticizes others' opinions, but is not willing to be criticized themselves. We all need to be willing to exchange our opinions openly, not just criticize others, then not answer the very same questions. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
