    I’ve come to the conclusion…. That if there are species out there able to travel interstellar distances in a reasonable time, then they have the ability to know humans are fucking nuts- because they can detect the radioactive isotopes in the atmosphere.

    Which means the only ones coming are even more nuts than we are.

    This, leads me to assume that either, they’re genocidal maniacs out to destroy everything that’s not them, (a la the bad guys in Ian Douglas’ Semper Mars series,)

    Or, they’re Space Mormons.

        I suppose i should have mentioned the third possibility of “both”- they’re Space Mormons; but we rejected the good news so now they’re on a genocidal killing spree. (And they think were primitive, as you say,)
