Debunkers and (blind) believers of the UFO phenomenon: What's the difference?

Or how opposing factions in the ufo-community could relate to each other in a way that furthers everyone's understanding of the UFO issue.

I think there is a vital distinction between being a sound skeptic of the UFO phenomena and an unsound skeptic. The latter mindset you will find in individuals called “debunkers”. What do I mean by an “unsound skeptic” or a “debunker”? I'm talking about people who can't or won't consider other people's views and won't change their opinions even when faced with facts. To be fair, that definition can fit us all from time to time, but the key is that debunkers show a stable pattern of rigid cognition and close-mindedness.

How can you have an open and reciprocal discourse on the UFO-issue with a debunker or a blind believer (a similar stable pattern of rigid cognition and close-mindedness, but in the opposite direction) in UFOs? 

In the following, we will explore one viable approach that might increase the chance of a constructive conversation with a debunker or a blind believer of UFOs. That approach is about validating and respecting the human behind the rigid thinking (ethical virtue) as much as evaluating what is being said (intellectual virtue). I hope and think that the approach will be intelligible along the way, since this text does not have an obvious structure.
