Am I wrong or am I right?

Here I am, torn between being supportive of other paranormal teams and wanting to separate myself from teams that I feel are not authentic and sincere. I watch and follow a lot of paranormal teams on social media. Some are down to Earth, rational folks who are genuinely looking for answers. While there are those out there riding the current wave of popularity in paranormal investigations and looking to create a name for themselves. Even if that name and reputation is bad.

So how do I promote unity in the paranormal field, when there are teams that do not portray the traits that are desirable? Please, do not get this wrong. I feel everyone should follow their dreams, even if that means you want to be the next television personality out there chasing and over reacting to noises in the dark.

But what about those tried and true teams and individuals that are busting their butts doing research and studying the field looking for answers. How do you give credence to one group but not the other? What standards do you apply? The brand name of their gear? The amount of gear they have or the types of gear they have?

Neither, it has nothing to do with gear, its about integrity and heart. Are they in this for the right reasons? Do they conduct themselves with honesty and present their findings honestly. Do they fabricate or exaggerate their findings? If they do... this is not a group to emulate or to duplicate. This is the dilemma which we fall into with unity in the field of paranormal research.

If you "out" a group for being fake or overly dramatic, then you become a "hater". if you allow these groups into your circle you dilute your resolve and your reputation. Thus, enabling them to continue to ruin the integrity of paranormal investigations as a whole. Do you become an isolationist in behavior? Do you refuse to associate with other groups and just be "Facebook friends"?

These are the questions many investigative founders and team members are faced with today. the hashtag #Paraunity is used to inspire teams to work together and to help bring the field together. But some use it as a mockery and hide behind its meaning to further their fraud.

I guess for me, I will stand by teams that I deem fit for association and I will still say #Paraunity when commenting on certain posts. If we strengthen our resolve and strengthen our position on and against some of the "frauds" or "drama queens" We will strengthen the respect that those outside our community has for us. It will give credence to our purpose and our cause. I guess it should read #Paraintegrity.

But as I asked before, Am I wrong for feeling this way,  or am I right??
