There is a difference between having an open mind, and wanting something to be true. It seems to me, that you desire there to be some truth to all this, simply because it is more interesting.

Nothing wrong with wanting things to be interesting, but don't jump to conclusions or simply agree with the claims of people based on their apparent credibility. When they bring forth the evidence, fair enough. However, there is nothing solid, and it is irresponsible to lend support to such a community. Serious research is what is required, focusing on what little we have, and compiling the best theory based on it. Not unrealistic talk of seemingly motiveless and easily-manipulated Aliens.
