i hadn ´t read your article when I wrote my answer, yet is fully well stated in most points.
For info:
Hello Dave,
One may reconsider their position in life without leaving friends behind.
Ufology to me has become dull and boring, that simple. Too many nutcases, lunatic fringe, conspiracy freaks or exopolitic crackpots....loads of pressure, and no longer fun as leisure.
I had better use my skills for myself, my family, and spend time with them. Ufology is not real life....and my position is that UFOs are no more than unexplained natural stuff. Very skeptical.
So it isnt something you did or anyone else did but a recognition of a change which came slowly over time.
To ufology, I prefer by far space exploration manned or robotic : what mankind can do in reality ....great achievements.
This in short is my explanation. Nothing outside but inside of me.
I have a new FB account i invited you to be part of, just no more ufology to be involved on it please.
Cordially
John

Dear John;
I am in shock and dismay. If you a resigning due to family reasons I completely understand.
If it is something I did I would like the opportunity to talk about.
I consider you a dear friend and want to keep it that way.
Sincerely;
Dave

Subject: Resignation Mufon as DNs and DDID
Dear All,
I have been discussing with my wife the time consuming efforts dedicated to Mufon on past several years, many international phone calls, pressure and arguments with crazy lunatic fringe idiots, threats, crank phone calls, phone calls way past midnight from ufologists....and this adds up to trouble more than a leisure.
My best efforts have brought to fruitation an international basis to continue building on.
Now to summarize my conclusions on the UAP phenomena, I have become quite skeptical and think at best they are probably a natural phenomena yet unexplained such as the hessdalen lights studied by Geipan, or space warp potential as studied by professor Pares of UNO Dept of science.
My goal is to spend more time with my family and reappropriate my passion for Space exploration in trying to become a NASA Solar Ambassador from JPL labs in CA to the French Riviera, teach my son 7 and classmates about this subject, and seniors in retirement homes to brighten up their days, in volunteer work in my community.
This is what I am aiming at as my next challenge but will be delighted to be kept updated on what is taking place here and there.
Have a great day all of you.
Kindest Regards
